Package: gsfonts-x11
Priority: optional
Section: x11
Maintainer: Roland Rosenfeld <roland@debian.org>
Version: 0.1
Depends: gsfonts, xbase-clients
Description: Make Ghostscript fonts available to X11.
 This packages makes the 35 Postscript fonts from the gsfonts package
 available to your X server under their "urw" names and via
 fonts.alias with the official "adobe" names, too.
 .
 This package does not contain any fonts itself but allows to reuse
 the ghostscript fonts as X11 screen fonts.


There was always the problem, that the graphics program xfig needs
some X11 fonts to represent the postscript fonts, which are used when
printing. At the moment this uses the 75dpi or 100dpi screen fonts,
but there are some of the standard postscript fonts missing and the
pixel fonts aren't available for big font sizes. I think that the
above package is a good way to make the ghostscript fonts available
for xfig and other package which need scalable screen fonts (for
example xpdf and others).

Tschoeeee
