If you want to use ups as previewer for text-processing applications
that, like ditroff, make use of 'built-in' (i.e. Adobe) PostScript
fonts, you must have the font-definitions. This means, you will have
to spend a considerable amount of money just for the Adobe type
library.

Does anybody know of free PostScript fonts ? Has anybody ever
thought about implementing a PostScript-backend for Metafont ??
