Hi,

I shall look at how the other ghostscript distributions handle
the Hershey fonts.  SuSE fonts-config blacklists these fonts.

Another quick check points to freetype2.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/freetype-devel/2003-10/msg00035.html
We have 2.1.5 in cygwin (Sep 2003), current freetype version is 2.1.9.

Can freetype2 be upgraded to 2.1.9?

Regards,
rb
