Using OTF/PFA font file for Symbol, but I see a blank glyph in the outuput

[Clint Olsen]

I know this is more or less ghostscript related and likely off-topic, but I
thought I'd ask here to help find my way.

Because the fonts for ghostscript aren't so attractive, and I have the
actual reference font files for the official 35 Postscript types, I thought
I would install them and use those for higher quality viewing on screen.
However, when I setup Ghostscript to pick up the OTF file (I heard these
are compatible with TTF?), all I see is a blank box with an X in it.  I
also tried converting the OTF to a PFA in case that path had a bug.  Is
this because there's a problem with these tools reading the font files I
have or because of a potential mismatch between Lout's shipped AFM files
and the font files I have?

Thanks,

-Clint
