RE: Ghostscript Version: 4.01-4
Whenever I have had such problems, it usually results from the fonts being in the incorrect directory. I seem to remember that sometimes GS expects its fonts under /usr/local/share/... It seems to depend on how the binary was compiled (though I am not sure). I do not know how to tell GS in what directory to look for fonts.

I do not know how to tell GS in what directory to look for fonts. I found where it was looking by running gs under strace (eg: strace gs sum.ps) Then, you can see it trying different places to find fonts: open(./Fontmap, O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open(/usr/lib/ghostscript/4.03/Fontmap, O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open(/usr/lib/ghostscript/fonts/Fontmap, O_RDONLY) = 4 ...and... open(/usr/lib/ghostscript/fonts/n021003l.pfb, O_RDONLY) = 5 But, as has been posted, the latest gs and gs-alladin deb files have this fixed. ...RickM... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

I initially fixed it by making a symlink of the fonts directory from /usr/lib/ghostscript/4.01/fonts, or whatever it was, but then I was told this was because I had an old debian package installed. I (and you) had an old ghostscript installed. The latest (4.03) is the /non-free/binary-i386/gs-aladdin_4.03-7.deb and this problem will go away when you install this new package. If I remember correctly, I couldn't coerce dselect to do this installation because of the version numbers. The ghostscript in text has the name gs_3.33-3.deb, which dselect sees as older than our 4.01. I assume that when we originally installed ghostscript it was called 4.01, but then due to copyright reasons it was replaced whith an older version. Your problem is (I believe) also fixed in gs_3.33-3.deb, so you can install it or gs-aladdin_4.03-7.deb. Go with the gs-aladdin_4.03-7.deb unless you have a problem with the copyright business. I don't recall, but I may have done a --purge on ghostscript first, and then installed gs-aladdin_4.03-7.deb. BTW, if you use ghostview, you'll probably like gv _much_ better, as I found. -- ...RickM... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
