When I installed LFS some time ago I didn't know BLFS and did all enhancements myself. Everything went fine - except viewing of PS/PDF in X. For printing cups brought its own ghostscript - no problems there.

So for a new LFS I'd be very lucky to have a description of

• X installing with font issues (I think it's there now :))
• ghostscript installing

If someone is interested, here's an output of kghostview when viewing a ps-file:

Error: /invalidfont

In "Chapter 26. Installing X" The chapter gives a sample hosts.def file for XFree86. In part of the file there are two statements which say "#define SharedLibFont YES".

[hosts.def file snippet]

/* These setting should be set by default, but we are making sure. */

#define BuildFontServer YES /* Need for GhostScript Print Server */ #define BuildFreetype2Library YES /* For using TrueType Fonts */ #define SharedLibFont YES /* Needed for Truetype */ #define CompressAllFonts YES #define GzipFontCompression YES #define SharedLibFont YES
