SOLVED!
Alright, so I was missing a font. Pncr7t.tfm
For future reference to anyone who needs to know, it's found in the texlive-fonts-recommended package, in the Ubuntu repositories.
Script now appears to work perfectly, thank you again
The now solved problem, below:
Hurrum, so, I'm still a bit of a linux newbie when it comes to the inner workings.
But, I managed to get the script from "Not working at all." to "Generating a completely blank pdf"
Have installed latex, gawk, and the other things the script said were missing. And, I assume it's all there.
For simplicity's sake, I have my desired txt file in the same directory as the script.
However... am now running into this:

My guess is that this line: ! I can't find file `pncr7t'.
Is the problem, but I'm not sure what it means.
Pncr7t appears to be a font, I installed a tex package with a font of the same name installed - but to no avail, so maybe I'm wrong.
Tips? ;-)
