Both fonts.scale and fonts.dir reside in the *same* directory
that contain the fonts you are adding. For example, if your
fonts are in:

/usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/YourNewFonts

Then both fonts.scale and fonts.dir should also be in this directory
with your fonts. A fairly complete explanation of how to add fonts
can be found at:

Oh yeah, if any of the font names have blank spaces in them, it will
confuse ghostscript and not be available for printing (Even though it
may or may not be display by your xserver. This is because a blank space
is not empty, but is, in fact, a non printable ascii character. Therefore,
remove all blank spaces.
