I tried to compile the ghostscript interpreter library 8.50 on Mac Os X, but I failed (at the same time Ghostscript 8.50 builds fine). It seems to me that the configure process wrongly includes unix-dll.mak and not macos-fw.mak, but I might be wildly wrong. I can provide detailed logs. Any advice is more than welcome. Thank you.

gsft-0.0.2.fix1 is out.

This patch modifies Ghostscript to invoke the FreeType2 scan-line converter in order to fill paths generated from interpreting and hinting Type1 fonts. Both monochrome and anti-aliased FreeType2 scan converters have been integrated.

Text readability on low resolution devices is greatly increased. It is a preliminary alpha version and it works fine: use at your own risk.

The code is believed to work on at least some of the following systems: GNU/Linux/x86, SunOs 5.6/Sparc.
