You might want to try this font browser; it does not have this problem:
xfontbrowser-1.0 -- Simple Font Browser
ftp://hpux.petech.ac.za/hpux/X11/Viewers/xfontbrowser-1.0/xfontbrowser-1.0-ss-10.10.tar.gz

Which .gsf file in particular? I've picked up a lot of type 1 fonts, but
I don't know enough about the terminology to interpret what you mean by
