hi. please cc me, as i'm not subscribed. gv is unable to open .ps man pages on my machine, when using the advice in DESCR. DESCR for gv says:
Ghostscript version >=7.00 includes an X11 display with anti-aliasing. Set: -sDISPLAY=x11 -dNOPLATFONTS -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4. to use it; this option has better rendering than x11alpha, but is slower. the default seems to be: -dNOPLATFONTS -sDEVICE=x11alpha so, short story long: DESCR seems to offer bad advice, at least on this machine. dmesg follows. jmc OpenBSD 4.1-current (GENERIC.MP) #0: Wed Jul 11 22:57:22 BST 2007 [EMAIL
