:>I just installed Ghostscript on my machine (see .sig) with few problems
:>other than the usual crappy unix documentation.  To the first guy:  GS
:>"hangs" on my system if I run it with no command line options.  Ie, I have
:>to type "GS lab1.ps", but it will not let me load "lab1.ps" after I start
:>the program; it "hangs" and won't parse input.  Try it this way if you
:>haven't; I don't know if it's a bug or it's just not set up right, but it
:>works that way.. 
Never had that problem and I routinely start it with only typing 'gs'.

:>To the reponder:  you can print to the prefs: printer by invoking "GS
:>-sDEVICE=amiga_printer" when you start it. (for some reason this wasn't
:>in the dox; took me a while to figure it out..)  Output is great on my HP
:>DeskJet 540 (much much better than with Post1.86..).
Thank goodnes, atleast some people are getting something good out of their 
printer, I was starting to think it was just only me where it works :)


:>Now my question:  how do you force it to use fonts other than what the 
:>document is looking for?  My logic design professor insists on writing up 
:>our lab sheets using wierd fonts that aren't installed on my system..  
:>Can I force it just to use whatever I do have?  I really wouldn't care if 
:>it used Topaz8 if it would just print..
The magic word here is RTFM :)
Go find the 'FontMap' file in the data directory. Load into your favourite 
editor and also load the 'font.doc'. Now change to your liking and print away.

If you still have question then go ahead and mail me,
