I recently built Ghostscript but I am curious about getting it to work with
TeX fonts.  I would assume that somehow one has to do some conversion between
the TeX font files to the GS font format but I do not know how (or maybe GS
has the facility to understand TeX fonts as is).  Right now, whenever I do a
preview, I just get boxes instead of characters (quite like the boxes Knuth
used in his book to describe boxes).  It would be much nicer if I could get
characters :)
