<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label PSpreview</title>
</head><body>
<h3>Previewing files using Type 1 fonts</h3>
<p>Until recently, free TeX previewers have only been capable of
displaying bitmap PK fonts, but current versions of
<i>xdvi</i> sport a Type 1 font renderer.
<p>Other (free) previewers of the current generation offer automatic
generation of the requisite PK files (using <i>gsftopk</i>,
or similar, behind the scenes). 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. Check the legalities of
this if you have purchased the fonts.
</ul>
