Yes, it's needed, I see.

Ok, with 2.3.11, I nicely get

/magfontQOTMomMUo { /cmss12 findfont 011.2246 output-scale div scalefont } bind
def

in the .ps output.  Problem seems to be that you need a proper
Fontmap, that is not available with the bluesky fonts on Debian.

You can try:

    mf/out/Fontmap:
    (Fontmap.GS) .runlibfile
    (Fontmap.lily) .runlibfile
    (Fontmap.cm) .runlifile

and create a new Fontmap.cm:
    /cmss12 (cmss12.pfb);
    
etc.

Maybe we should just generate and distribute the complete list?

If I specify (font-encoding . ec), I get /ecss12, which works fine.

Jan.
