Previewing files using Type 1 fonts

Until recently, free TeX previewers have only been capable of displaying bitmap PK fonts. (Y&Y's commercial previewer DVIWindo has long used Adobe Type Manager to display Type 1 fonts directly, and the most recent releases of xdvi sport a Type 1 font renderer.) Other previewers of the current generation offer automatic generation of the requisite PK files (using gsftopk, or similar, behind the scenes). If your previewer isn't capable of this, you have three options:

ghostscript
Browse nonfree/support/ghostscript/
ghostview
Browse support/ghostscript/gnu/ghostview/
gsftopk
fonts/utilities/gsftopk (zip, browse)
GSview
Browse nonfree/support/ghostscript/ghostgum/
ps2pk
fonts/utilities/ps2pk (zip, browse)
xdvi
dviware/xdvi (zip, browse)
