There is also a possibility to set an envirenment to enhance the compiled in search path for fonts ... What happens if you try to display the example Postscript documents that are bundeled with the gs sources ? -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 1455 19 Aug 14:22 alphabet.ps -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 58543 19 Aug 14:22 cheq.ps -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 2932 19 Aug 14:22 chess.ps -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 1879 19 Aug 14:22 colorcir.ps -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 137190 19 Aug 14:22 doretree.ps -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 10520 19 Aug 14:22 escher.ps -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 25499 19 Aug 14:22 golfer.ps -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 1529 19 Aug 14:22 grayalph.ps -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 3020 19 Aug 14:22 ridt91.eps -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 2071 19 Aug 14:22 snowflak.ps -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 78519 19 Aug 14:22 tiger.ps -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 13092 19 Aug 14:22 vasarely.ps -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 2616 19 Aug 14:22 waterfal.ps You can use either gs directly to display it or use ghostview or gv as frontend.
