Some of the PPR filters use IBM Courier.  You already have it.  It is in 
/usr/share/ppr/fonts/.  PPR is supposed to automatically download it to 
the printer when needed.

Make sure that it is listed in /var/spool/ppr/fontindex.db.  If it 
isn't, rerun ~ppr/bin/ppr-fontindex.  If it is, send me an example file 
which demonstrates the problem and I will look for a bug in PPR.
