Larry S. Marso:
|I notice that ghostscript produces a pretty lousy image (in terms of
|resolution) when I use it to display *.ps files of articles and manuals.
|It is *much* worse than a similarly configured Linux box I had a year ago.
|
|However, I note that xdvi displays much higher quality images, even of the
|postscript fonts (while it can't display embedded postscript images, which
|is why I'm trying to use ghostscript).
Hmm, just one. When you run ghostscript from the command line, e.g.
gs whatever.ps
does it look like it's loading all the fonts OK? Or does it say something
like "can't find font X...using 'ugly' font".
If not, run ktrace on gs and see where it's trying to pick the fonts up
from. Can't speak for all versions but for 4.03, they're in
/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts.
