(1) There seems to be a problem with either ghostscript or with its fonts. Courier fonts are displayed (both in gv and while printing) as MUCH TOO BIG. When printing, they overwrite other text making the output very hard to read. There's been a lot of posting at various places on the web about problems with courier vs. FC3, but no solutions.
(2) Does anyone have either rpms of ghostscript-8.15, preferable for AMD 86-64 processors and a recent ghostscript font distribution (6.00 or above), or know a way to get ghostscript to handle courier fonts properly.
The problem with fonts is in the urw-fonts as far as I know. See the bugzilla report about it:
Downgrading to urw-fonts-2.1-7 from FC-2 fixes this problem for me also. Maybe someone should renumber urw-fonts-2.1-7 as urw-fonts-2.2-7 and release them on the servers as an upgrade till the **real** upgrade is ready.
BTW: Does anyone know anything about gs-8.15?
Thanks very much:
