- Yes,
- Its at ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/garbo/garbo_pc/fonts
-
- Check all the batch files (.BAT). The executable for 386 and 486 computers
- is called gs386.exe and the batch files all try to call an earlier version
- called just gs.exe. Like Executor, it responds to the -help switch with a
- help screen, which will tell you if your printer and video card are
- directly support.
-
- As far as printing goes, it has an IBMpro and an Epson driver, so most
- printer should be ok in emulation. I set my Fujitsu DL3400 to default
- modes and use the IBMpro driver for printing, and I have a Trident video
- card which is directly supported.
-
- Pick up as many of the .gsf files from the directory as you can, those are
- the fonts. If you are short on time, or have a really slow connection,
- pick up the index and check which fonts each file emulates (Times, Courier
- etc.) and at least get the ones you plan to use. The default/backup font
- that comes with ghostview is called ugly.gsf and it is. I have tested
- files from Word 5.1a and ClarisWorks 2.xxx and they both came out OK.
- Extremely respectable, especially for a 24 pin printer with one pin out!
-
- Off the top of my head, I remeber that it does HP deskjets, (a dj and a
- dj500 driver as well as some high end drivers) the Canon BJ10, and of
- course epson and ibmpro. The only specific video drivers I remember are
- trident and tseng, but it also must have a generic vga driver, because it
- will run without a video driver present, the resolution and colour depth
- are just lower.
-
- I hope that this is helpful. If you can find some way to pipe the .ps
- files from Executor into Ghostview, I will be very happy to hear about it.
