====== Previewing files using Type 1 fonts ======


Originally, free TeX previewers were only capable of displaying
bitmap (PK) fonts, but free Type 1 font rendering software has
been available for some time, and many previewers now use such
facilities.

The alternative, for previewers, is automatic generation of the
requisite PK files (using ''gsftopk'', or similar,
behind the scenes).

In the unlikely event that your previewer isn't capable of either, you
have a couple options:

-  Convert the DVI file to PostScript and use a
PostScript previewer.  Some systems offer this capability as
standard, but most people will need to use a separate previewer such
as ''[[https://www.ghostscript.com/|ghostscript]]'' or
''ghostscript''-based viewers such as (free) ''gv'' or (shareware)
''[[http://www.ghostgum.com.au/|gsview]]''.

-  If you have the PostScript fonts in Type 1 format, use
''ps2pk'' or ''gsftopk'' (designed for use with the
''[[https://www.ghostscript.com/|ghostscript]]'' fonts) to
make PK bitmap fonts which your previewer will understand
(a process similar to the way some browsers fo the job "automatically")
This can produce adequate results, also suitable for printing
with non-PostScript devices.

<note>
If you purchased the fonts, it is advisable to check that their licence
permits you to convert them, for private use, in this way.
