It is possible to use TrueType fonts with Ghostscript 4 & 5, but you have to compile the driver in. Install the TTF fonts from a windows system on your UNIX box (or alternately, mount the windows fonts directory if you have a dual boot install). Include that directory in the ghostscript font path, and append the following to the active ghostscript Fontmap file. A friend with a font editor tool proved to me once that the standard TTF's Microsoft ship are not as good as Adobe fonts. But it's a useful trick for symbol fonts etc. N. -----8<--snip----8<-------------- /Book-Antiqua (Antqua.ttf) ; /Book-Antiqua-Bold (Antquab.ttf) ; /Book-Antiqua-Bold-Italic (Antquabi.ttf) ; /Book-Antiqua-Italic (Antquai.ttf) ; /Arial-Narrow (Arialn.ttf) ; /Arial-Black (Ariblk.ttf) ; /Bookman-Old-Style (Bookos.ttf) ; /Bookman-Old-Style-Bold (Bookosb.ttf) ; /Bookman-Old-Style-Bold-Italic (Bookosbi.ttf) ; /Bookman-Old-Style-Italic (Bookosi.ttf) ; /Garamond (Gara.ttf) ; /Garamond-Bold (Garabd.ttf) ; /Garamond-Italic (Garait.ttf) ; /Haettenschweiler (Hatten.ttf) ; /MS-LineDraw (Linedraw.ttf) ; /MS-MT-Extra (Mtextra.ttf) ; /Monotype-Sorts (Mtsorts.ttf) ; /Century-Schoolbook (Schlbk.ttf) ; /Century-Schoolbook-Bold (Schlbkb.ttf) ; /Century-Schoolbook-Bold-Italic (Schlbkbi.ttf) ; /Century-Schoolbook-Italic (Schlbki.ttf) ; /Arial (arial.ttf) ; /Arial-Bold (arialbd.ttf) ; /Arial-Bold-Italic (arialbi.ttf) ; /Arial-Italic (ariali.ttf) ; /Courier-New (cour.ttf) ; /Courier-New-Bold (courbd.ttf) ; /Courier-New-Bold-Italic (courbi.ttf) ; /Courier-New-Italic (couri.ttf) ; /Lucida-Sans-Unicode (l_10646.ttf) ; /Lucida-Console (lucon.ttf) ; /Marlett (marlett.ttf) ; /Symbol (symbol.ttf) ; /Times-New-Roman (times.ttf) ; /Times-New-Roman-Bold (timesbd.ttf) ; /Times-New-Roman-Bold-Italic (timesbi.ttf) ; /Times-New-Roman-Italic (timesi.ttf) ; /WingDings (wingding.ttf) ; Arjan Knepper wrote: > The fonts used by hylafax differ a lot from the original fonts used on > my Windows NT4.0 system.
