Package: gs-afpl (8.53-0.2) [non-free]

The AFPL Ghostscript PostScript interpreter

This version is released under AFPL, not GNU GPL. See /usr/share/doc/gs-afpl/copyright for detail.

Ghostscript is used for PostScript preview and printing. Usually as a back-end to a program such as ghostview, it can display PostScript documents in an X11 environment.

Furthermore, it can render PostScript files as graphics to be printed on non-PostScript printers. Supported printers include common dot-matrix, inkjet and laser models.

Package gsfonts contains a set of standard fonts for Ghostscript.

The Ghostscript World Wide Web home page is at http://www.ghostscript.com/
