freetype install help

I posted an earlier question that may have gotten a little convoluted as I have not gotten any replies.
I installed freetype, and reinistalled IM, but I still cannot render ghostscript fonts. I still get this or a similar error:

convert: unable to read font `n019024l.pfb'
convert: missing an image filename new.jpg

I was under the impression from reading many posts that I only needed freetype or ghostscript, not both. Do I need to do something else to get IM to see freetype?

Any help or a link to help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Troy

The postscript file fint listing in "ghostscript.xml" is not listing the location of the font correctly.

You can use the script given on the top level page of IM Examples to find all the fonts on a linux or MacOSX system and create a 'type.xml" that can be used to override the system files.
