After you install the ghostscript-9.00 package, you will need to set the following environment variables. In the C-shell, this looks something like (this may be different for your local setup)
setenv GS_FONTPATH /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/outline setenv GS_LIB /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Type1:/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Type3:/usr/local/share/ghostscript/9.00/lib/fonts
A user, Hubert Garavel, has made the following suggestion to ease font installation:
Fonts are not shipped as part of Ghostscript 9.00 To install the fonts, one can execute the following commands (again these locations may change with time)
cd /tmp
wget http://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/AFPL/fonts/ghostscript-fonts-other-6.0.tar.gz
wget http://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/AFPL/fonts/ghostscript-fonts-std-6.0.tar.gz
wget http://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/AFPL/fonts/ghostscript-fonts-std-8.11.tar.gz
gunzip ghostscript-fonts*
cd /usr/local/share/ghostscript/9.00/lib
tar xvf /tmp/ghostscript-fonts-other-6.0.tar
tar xvf /tmp/ghostscript-fonts-std-6.0.tar
tar xvf /tmp/ghostscript-fonts-std-8.11.tar
chown -R bin:bin fonts
chmod a+rx fonts
rm /tmp/ghostscript-fonts*
It is strongly suggested that you read the documentation in /usr/local/doc/ghostscript/doc/ and understand how to install the font files and set environment variables. You should also test your gs installation with the files in /usr/local/doc/ghostscript/examples.
