Why do you say that?  That package makes the PostScript fonts included
with the GhostScript PS interpreter available to X.  My experience has
been that PostScript fonts are generally superior to bitmapped fonts,
except at what these days are unusually low resolutions; if you want a
non-standard resolution, bitmapped fonts are right out.  I'd actually
consider this package essential to coming up with font support that
doesn't suck.
