Message-Id: 20071122022548.GA8982@syscon2.inet
1 "gs -h" gives me the following font path for Ghostscript
2 Search path:
3 . : /home/joseph/.fonts : /usr/share/ghostscript/8.15/lib :
4 /usr/share/ghostscript/8.15/Resource :
5 /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript/ :
6 /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript :
7
8 I have the above paths but not the below ones.
9
10 /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 :
11 /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType : /usr/lib/DPS/outline/base :
12 /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 : /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
13
14 Where these paths are coming from?
15 According to documentation: /usr/share/doc/ghostscript-esp-8.15.3/html/Use.htm
16 The documentation only mention "Xfree86" display servers but I would imagine is it is applicable to Xorg as well.
17 So, the fonts path from xorg.conf should be searchable by Ghostscript as well but they are not. Ghostscript doesn't
18 know anything about them; as one of the pdf document was giving me an error, I couldn't convert from pdf2ps it was
19 looking for: gbsn00lp.ttf font I have this font in /usr/share/fonts/arphicfonts/
20 Only when I created a link in: /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript/
21
22 ln -s /usr/share/fonts/arphicfonts/gbsn00lp.ttf gbsn00lp.ttf
23 to this font it converted from pdf2ps
24
25 Shouldn't "gs -h" show list of path fonts from xorg.conf file?
