[gentoo-user] [OT] Which GhostScript to use?

[Andrew Gaydenko]

I have found (at least) three alternatives in the portage:

app-text/ghostscript-gnu
app-text/ghostscript-esp
app-text/ghostscript-afpl

Now, I have 'esp' installed. The problem is, some 'ps' files causes errors
like 

"Error: /configurationerror
 in --setpagedevice--

Additional information: [/Duplex true]
..."

Has anybody arguments to switch to 'gnu' or 'afpl' version? BTW, I use
'gdi' printer driver for CUPS.

I had problem with "esp" as well, but ghostscript-gnu works OK

Joseph,

Do you use generic GDI driver with 'ghostscript-gnu'? You see, a rendering isn't
the only goal. I'd like my printer to work too :-)

How, do I find out?
I've experience very ugly fonts when I saved PFD file from OpenOffice
2.0 so I switched to "gnu" version and the problem was solved?
It prints just fine, never noticed any difference.
