Package: ghostscript (10.04.0~dfsg-1)

[ Source: ghostscript  ]

interpreter for the PostScript language and for PDF

GPL Ghostscript is used for PostScript/PDF preview and printing. Usually as a back-end to a program such as ghostview, it can display PostScript and PDF documents in an X11 environment.

Furthermore, it can render PostScript and PDF files as graphics to be printed on non-PostScript printers. Supported printers include common dot-matrix, inkjet and laser models.

The suggested texlive-binaries package is only required when using dvipdf.
