Yep, I do have that type-ghostscript.xml, with the fonts listed within. And with-gs-font-dir pointed to it. Still...nothing when I type convert -list font I'm dying here. What is needed for convert to see the fonts, either ghostscript (via type-ghostscript.xml, or the system fonts (which are ...

I appreciate the reply! Hmm..I was wanting to redistribute the fonts (which if license is included my understanding is I can with the 35 or so "free" gs ones). But...I certainly -could- also not redistribute fonts at all, and have IM pick up the OSX system fonts on a given system using that pearl ...

Instructions on getting the delegates together to actually build working, non-dependent binaries is a horribly documented, error-prone mess. For example, trying to build ...
