Fix for unreadable ghostscript font

I'm using the ruby Scruffy gem to create some graphs. It relies on RMagick to render the text and create the pngs. When I run my ruby script I get this error.

sh: gs: command not found

You need to install ghostscript (see: gs: command not found). How you do this depends on what platform you are on.
