If your previewer isn't capable of +this, you have three 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>ghostview</i> or shareware offering <i>GSview</i>. +<li> Under Windows on a PC, or on a Macintosh, let Adobe Type Manager + display the fonts (textures, on the Macintosh, works like this). + + + + + (See <a href="FAQ-commercial.html">commercial suppliers</a> for details.) +<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. This can produce excellent results, also suitable + for printing with non-PostScript devices.
