You might want to check out GoScript from LaserGo, 619-450-4600,
fax: 619-450-9334.  It has handled most of the Postscript I've
throw at it with little trouble.  And with a megabyte of expanded
memory it's reasonably fast.

If you're interested in decent font output, and the ability to handle
the average Postscript that happens along I'd suggest you give Ghostscript
a pass.  It sounds like it might be more useable in the next release ...
