- Yep, don't use the environment variable GS_FONTPATH at *all*. It was my
- mistake to name it since I know it has problems with FontMap. This will be
- fixed in the next major release of Ghostscript which should take place
- somewhere this spring.
-
- Either use assign Ghostscript: and path add Ghostscript:
- or use setenv GS_LIB=whereeverGSis
- DON'T use GS_FONTPATH.

- Hmm, GS353 is well capable of displaying PDF files. I just read all PPC
- documentation which is in PDF format.
