Just ftp'ed GhostScript 2.1.1 this weekend.  I like it better than the
other version I had.  Will try and make it with the Sunview drivers and
see how it works.  The fonts look "jagged" at large scale at first play.

I noticed that FrameMaker files sometimes will die when when using NeWS due
to a setpapersize call.  I put together an awk that will fix that and use
it as a filter.  Do you have any other examples I might be able to get
from you to make newsprint have problems?
