Description: Postscript interpreter with X11 and svgalib preview support.
Ghostscript is used for postscript preview and printing. Usually as
a back-end to a program such as ghostview, it can display postscript
documents in an X11 environment. It can also use the Linux svga
library to display documents graphically on the Linux console.
.
Furthermore, it can render postscript files as graphics to be printed
on non-postscript printers. Supported printers include common
dot-matrix, inkjet and laser models.
.
Package gsfonts contains a set of standard fonts for ghostscript.
.
You have to install the gs-pdfencrypt package to be able to preview
encrypted pdf files. That package is in the nonus distribution due to
the stupid US regulations about exporting cryptographic software
(please look under ftp://nonus.debian.org/pub/debian-non-US to find it).
.
The Ghostscript World Wide Web home page is at
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/index.html
.
This package also contains the hpdj driver contributed by
Martin Lottermoser and the hp8xx driver by Uli Wortmann.
