well, I dont know what kind of catalog the module expects. but doing a
quickie look through our files, seems we have afm files in both
/opt/csw/share/ghostscript/fonts
and
/opt/csw/share/libwmf/fonts

(I'm not happy about this, and attempted to get the respective
maintainers to work something out together, but unfortunately, nothing
came of it)

So, please use your knowledge of the perl module, to figure out if we
can use one, or both, of those paths, at the front of
"/opt/csw/share/libwmf/fonts:."

I dont think solaris uses /usr/lib/afm, so no point in keeipng that.
you might want to keep in the /usr/local/lib/afm after /usr/openwin.
