Hi. If I am off-topic here (i.e, if there is a better way to reach people interested in GSView on Debian than by this list), then I hope someone will politely let me know....
Are others successfully using GSView under Debian? I'm using it, but with problems. I got it by putting an RPM file through Alien, and am using GhostScript libraries that I've generated from the gs-afpl sources. The major further hurdle is font management -- I haven't sorted out the right way to register GSView with the Debian font management programs, so my GSView is not finding out about new fonts as I install them, and for some reason my GSView doesn't act very nicely when it doesn't have needed fonts. There is also the minor issue of arranging that GSView show up properly in Debian and KDE menus. (Being from an RPM, maybe it does show up in Gnome menus, I wouldn't know.) Is there any hope that debian.scribus.net could have packages for libgs (which would be a virtual package provided by libgs-afpl and libgs-gpl) and for gsview? Regards, -- John (MacPhail)
