No problemo. If you check your GS System software you'll find bit-mapped 
versions of a number of your built-in postscript fonts (Times, etc.), 
plus the laserwriter driver can SUBSTITUTE PS fonts for certain bitmaps:

Geneva becomes Helvetica
Shaston becomes a shortened and ugly version of Helvetica
New York becomes times
Venice becomes Zapf Chancery
Monaco becomes Courier.

Other than that: does your local Apple User Group have a disk library?
