gs-common package depends on gsfonts package, what if I don't want to
use these Type 1 fonts at all, and would purge the gsfonts package.
Would GS work with TTF fonts which are on my system instead?
gs is a PostScript interpreter. The PostScript language spec requires

So tell us. Is gs able to determine from among your TrueType fonts
which ones might have faces and metrics similar enough to the
standard PostScript ones to be substituted? Can it do this on any

No, they cannot be matched. DejaVu fonts do not provide exactly the

gs uses /usr/share/gs-gpl/8.01/lib/Fontmap (or, rather, Fontmap.GS) to
