2002-10-30 Thread Mike Fontenot
I'm hoping someone can tell me how Ghostscript (specifically, gs-aladdin 7.04 (testing)) is supposed to know where the ghostscript fonts are located (i.e., the pathname to the directory where they reside). Is there an environment variable that is supposed to be set to that directory? Also
