It should not take two three and a half fucking hours to convince a computer to print out a PDF generated from a PostScript file generated from LaTeX. Even if that computer is a crippled Windows box in a business centre of an apartment complex.

I mean, really, Ghostscript doesn't exactly make it clear how to configure GSview to look for fonts in weird places (*grumblegrumbledirectorypermissionsyouasshats*), nor is it particularly obvious where one goes about finding the PostScript font binaries so that the .ps will load up at all, and it certainly doesn't help that the folks maintaining the Ghostscript mirrors don't seem to have checked the md5sums of their own archive recently (note to archive maintainers: when I download the same file several times and I keep getting the same incorrect hash, it is probably your fault, kthxbye), but Jesus Cluny Fuck, it takes talent to write LaTeX that incredibly awful.

Sigh. Off to go do some more editing. deannahoak, sorry for disappearing for so long.
( Disproven hypothesis, below the cut )
And with that little bit of investigation done, back to work.
