About GPL Ghostscript?

Ghostscript is a comprehensive software suite centered around an interpreter for Adobe Systems' PostScript and Portable Document Format (PDF) page description languages. Its primary functions include rasterizing or rendering page description language files for the display or printing of documents and converting between PostScript and PDF files. Additionally, Ghostscript operates as a file format converter, enabling the transformation of PostScript to PDF, often utilized in conjunction with a PostScript printer driver in "virtual printer" PDF creators. The software also includes two sets of free fonts, encompassing 35 basic PostScript fonts provided by URW++ Design and a diverse set featuring Cyrillic, kana, and fonts derived from the free Hershey fonts.
