Therefore users should + install 64bit Ghostscript and set the command PATH for the + Ghostscript. However, don't define TEXLIVE_WINDOWS_EXTERNAL_GS + in texmf.cnf, because the preinstalled 32bit Ghostscript is + also used in several cases. + + From TeX Live 2020, the version of 64bit binaries will be + synchronized with that of 32bit binaries.
