   I just got Ghostscript version 1.4beta3 ( the free ****Script interpreter from

This could be a bug in the tex.ps prolog file which is part of dvips,
or it could be merely a problem of configuring the mapping of tex font
names to builtin font names.

I've been beta testing GS 1.4beta3.  It will preview latex documents
set in CM fonts for the text and builtin fonts for included EPS
figures.  In fact, you can set up dvips to generate the 72 dpi fonts
on the fly, and they are legible in the ghostscript window.

Being able to preview included postscript figures and CM fonts is a
big win for ghostscript.  No other free software will do this.  I hope
it encourages more support for the ghostscript project.

Anybody out there want to help Peter?  We've got a great reason here
to get the project going.
