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 ‘automatically’) This can produce excellent results, - also suitable for printing with non-PostScript devices.
