If it's a sco box, and the binary came from me, they are in an 
unexpected and crappy place like /fonts/windows or /windows/fonts or 
/urwfonts, etc. I didn't pick it, that was the default in the source, 
and I just didn't override it.

yep...
The package & directions here:
http://www.aljex.com/bkw/sco/#ghostpcl

says to install by:
curl http://www.aljex.com/bkw/sco/ghostpdl.tar.bz2 |bzcat |tar xvf -

And if you just download that tar normally and look inside, you see the 
font's included under /windows

If you just run that curl command you should be working.
