Package: gs (6.53-3)

The Ghostscript Postscript interpreter

Ghostscript is used for postscript preview and printing. Usually as a back-end to a program such as ghostview, it can display postscript documents in an X11 environment.

Furthermore, it can render postscript files as graphics to be printed on non-postscript printers. Supported printers include common dot-matrix, inkjet and laser models.

Package gsfonts contains a set of standard fonts for ghostscript.

The Ghostscript World Wide Web home page is at http://www.ghostscript.com/
