The other day I downloaded Ghostscript from  chyde.uwasa.fi.  What I think
I was getting is an interpreter that takes PostScript input and outputs
to a screen or dot matrix printer.

There were no real documents on how to use the package.  Also, in scanning
through what was there, I believe that it is supposed to have at least
one font file, called UGLY-something.  I even logged back onto chyde to 
look again to see if I missed anything, but found nothing else relating
to Ghostscript.

First of all, am I right about what Ghostscript is for?  

And second, how can I get a little more documentation?

And third, can I get it to work on my Toshiba 24-pin printer?

And fourth, how do I get fonts?
