Two possible mistakes: wrong place you installed in *and/or* sudo 
texhash forgotten.

The right places to intall fontist are

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/fontinst
charlespugh/Library/texmf/tex/fontinst

An upgrade of your TeX i-Package to 2004 stable might bring the recent 
fontinst version (or 2005 devel).

Plain TeX is the right thing, no Ghostscript needed. Please try to 
invoke in Terminal 'sudo texhash' -- I'm sure this will cure the 
problem of not finding the fontinst files. In approximately 40 min 
(European time?) I'll be off-line for some hours ...
