對啊，TurboLinux 中文版的 Ghostscript 5.10-8，就是經過陳向陽先生
加進去的中文 patch，配合已有的日文和韓文 patch，和 VFlib 一起來
利用 TrueType 字體作 CJK 打印的了。我下載了 patch 回來，只是我看不懂。
:-) 另外，據說 Ghostscript 6.x 已有直接對 TrueType 字體的支持，
不過我還沒有時間詳細看，也不知對中文 TTF 的支持如何。
也許將來 Debian 的中文打印也可以及應該朝這個方向走。目前折衷的辦法，
就是用 bg5ps 1.3.0。經 CLE 的小虫 (Platin) 兄修改， bg5ps 1.3.0 可以
處理 Big5 及 GB2312 的文件，配合文鼎 PL 字體，打印效果不錯。
^_^ bg5ps-1.3.0 已放在 woody 中了。
