Subject: Is there a magic limit to changes of fontmap in 2.5.2???
Summary: Seemingly there is a limit to the number of fontchanges in fontmap in 2

There seems to be a magic limit on the number of possible changes in the
fontmap-file. I made a change of fontmap replacing only a subset
of the Adobe Plus-Package-fonts. But even with only this subset I get
unexpected errors:

If I load the pscriptd.ini of word5.5, I get the message of
a load-errors for fonts which are available to ghostscript contrary to the
error-messages for Palatino-Italic (poi____.pfb) and Palatino-BoldItalic
(pobi____.pfb). The same remark holds for the delivered font for
ZapfCancery (zcro.gsf).
I would like to use the _complete_ Adobe Plus-Package by the obvious
changes of the fontmap-file but cannot.

I use gs386 Version 2.5.2 on a 486 with 8MB

Any Comments?

Here is the message I get, if I load pscriptd.ini:
