Well, i figured out an answer for the first two questions, at least
for my purposes.  Use font family 'Foo for everything and do something
like:

(setq ps-font-info-database
      (append
       '((Foo
	  (fonts
	   (normal . "Courier")
	   (bold . "Courier")
	   (italic . "Courier")
	   (bold-italic . "Courier"))
	  (size . 10.0)
	  (line-height . 10.55)
	  (space-width . 6.0)
	  (avg-char-width . 6.0)))
       ps-font-info-database))

But i'm still working on:

and a new one:

4.  I have figured out how to get a page number with
"/pagenumberstring load" in the header, but lets say i wanted the line
to look like "Page 4"?  If it try something like

(set (make-local-variable 'ps-right-header)
     (list "(Page ) /pagenumberstring load"))

gv gives me a postscript error and won't load the file.  Any ideas how
i could accomplish this?
