-<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label PSpreview</title>
-</head><body>
-<h3>Previewing files using Type 1 fonts</h3>
-<p/>Originally, free TeX previewers were only capable of displaying
-bitmap (PK) fonts, but free Type 1 font rendering software has
-been available for some time, and many previewers now use such
-facilities.
-<p/>The alternative, for previewers, is automatic generation of the
-requisite PK files (using <i>gsftopk</i>, or similar,
-behind the scenes).
-<p/>In the unlikely event that your previewer isn&#8217;t capable of either, you
-have a couple options:
-<ul>
-<li> Convert the DVI file to PostScript and use a
- PostScript previewer. Some systems offer this capability as
- standard, but most people will need to use a separate previewer such
- as <i>ghostscript</i> or <i>ghostscript</i>-based viewers
- such as <i>gv</i> or shareware offering <i>GSview</i>.

-<li> If you have the PostScript fonts in Type 1 format, use
- <i>ps2pk</i> or <i>gsftopk</i> (designed for use with the
- <i>ghostscript</i> fonts) to make PK bitmap fonts which
- your previewer will understand (a process similar to the way some
- browsers fo the job &#8216;automatically&#8217;) This can produce excellent results,
- also suitable for printing with non-PostScript devices. (Note: if you
- purchased the fonts, it is advisable to check that their licence
- permits you to convert them, for private use, in this way.)
