The optional argument \texttt{gsfonts} can be used to load only the symbol font from GhostScript.
Otherwise the one from URW or the system is used, which is the default.

\subsection{Arrows}


There are new arrow types and a new optional argument \texttt{tipcolor}:


\begin{LTXexample}[width=5cm]
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid](4.2,3.25)
\psline{-T>}(0,1)(4,1)
\psline[arrowscale=2]{<T-T>}(0,2)(4,2)
\psline[tipcolor=red,arrowscale=2]{<T-}(0,3)(4,3)
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}



\LPack{pstricks} defines the following "`arrows"':

  \def\myline#1{\psline[linecolor=red,linewidth=0.5pt,arrowscale=1.5]{#1}(0,1ex)(1.3,1ex)}%
  \def\mylineA#1{\psline[linecolor=red,linewidth=0.5pt,arrowscale=4.5]{#1}(0,1ex)(2,1ex)}%
  \psset{arrowscale=1.5}
  \begin{longtable}{@{} c @{\qquad} p{3cm} l @{}}%

With version 3.04 all arrow specific base code is moved to the file \LPack{pstricks-arrows}, which
is not of interest for the default user..

\subsection{Symbolfont}


Use by default the URW or system symbol font for \Lcs{psdot}. This can be changes by using
the optional argument \texttt{gsfonts}:

\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[gsfonts]{pstricks}
\end{verbatim}

\TeX-users have to define the switch and

\begin{verbatim}
\newif\ifpstGSfonts
\pstGSfontsfalse % or true for using GS font

\input pstricks
...
\end{verbatim}


\subsection{Fillstyle \texttt{penrose}}

There was a bug if this fillstyle was used together with a line sequence.
