 Hi.

 I'm trying to use the NeWS-server to create a bitmap of some kind
( eg sun rasterfile ) from a PostScript file.

 What I have tried is a program called ps3epsi, that starts with creating
a bitmap from the PS-file. However this program fails on some 
PS-files ( typically files created from TeX by dvips ), and I
get an error from the NeWS-server trying to conver theese files.

 I know that the NeWS-server can handle theese files because they 
work perfectly OK in pageview.

 Does anybody know of some other program to do this conversion, or
how I can fix this one. 
( I've used ghostscript, but the fonts are rather ugly when you 
 use them in a large size ).

  I use OpenWindows 3.0
