Dear Gurus,

I'm running DU 3.2c

Some time ago, I have installed Ghostscript 2.62 and Ghostview 1.5

I've always had some problems. In some cases, the pages in Ghostview
are blank. Nothing.
Fumbling around, I found some postings, and Ghostscript 3.33, which
pointed to the fact that Ghostscript can use the fonts in
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1Adobe
I therefore made Fontmap.OSF (taken from gs3.33) as Fontmap and symlinked
/usr/local/lib/ghostscript/fonts to the above directory.
Things are _a little_ better now. Where I had a blank page, now Ghostview
shows "something". You can guess that it should be letters, but not legible.

Hence I think I have problems with the fonts. Any idea?

Now, since I had downloaded gs3.33, I tried to install it. The compilation
fails when encountering the jpeg files (tons of warnings and errors).
In fact I don't need jpeg, but I don't see how to avoid it.

Any idea again?

Thank you!

Jean-Loup
