It is just using the fonts from ghostscript-gnu. It actually has its own complete copy of ghostscript, called epsgs, which is used by pstoraster, which produces the intermediate language used in converting to specific printer languages other than PS. >I noticed that there is also a ghostscript-gnu-nox11 port.

Of course, if you are only printing to Postscript printers, then this whole thing becomes moot. Let me see waht I can do. I'll get back to you on this later today, since it's a simple issue. -- Alan Eldridge Unix/C(++) IT Pro, 20 yrs, seeking new employment.
