gs-5.x and above supports TrueType fonts out of the box. I've built
5.01, 5,03, 5.10, 5.50, 6.0 and 6.01 and I did nothing special in the
Makefile to enable TrueType support.
All you need to do is create the appropriate Fontmap entry. For
example:
/Pookie (pookie.ttf) ;
and make sure that bot the Fontmap and the file pookie.ttf are in
ghostscripts search path, which can be obtained by examining the
output of gs -h:
Aladdin Ghostscript 6.01 (2000-03-17)
Copyright (C) 2000 Aladdin Enterprises, Menlo Park, CA. All rights reserved.
...
Search path:
. : /pkgs/ghostscript-6.01/share/ghostscript/6.01/lib :
/pkgs/ghostscript-6.01/share/ghostscript/fonts : /pkgs/fonts :
/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
Or you can set $GS_FONTPATH, or $GS_LIB, or you can run gs with the -I/path
option. man gs for more details.
