adding fonts to ghostscript 9.10

Question

Windows 8

The official documentation says to just edit the Fontmap file.

There are 12 "fontmap" files inside lib. Which one am I supposed to edit?

Let's say I want to add the "Arial" font and have it be a substitution for any font in the Arial format. How do I do that?

Answer 1

Well here is what i do in this case,i add the below parameters to my ghostscript :

-sFONTPATH=%windir%/fonts -dEmbedAllFonts=true 

Lets suppose you want to add the Arial font to the fonts list, you will refer to the path that has all the fonts and Ghostscript will use that fonts to substitute the missing ones, if your font is not available you will have to donwlad it and install it in the c:/windows/fonts path, as per this fonts path in windows 8 must be the same as previous versions of windows

Now this is the normal scenario, but for yours you can use the answer of this question "How do I specify custom substitutions on Windows?" here
