in your user configuration file. Editing the launch script, usually done by a
system administrator, gives all users who access that copy of the viewer access
to the fonts. Editing your user configuration file gives you access to the fonts.
The PSRESOURCEPATH variable looks for UNIX PostScript Resource (.upr) files in
the location at which you point it. The .upr files are created when Type1 fonts
