Hello,

 I wonder whether it would be possible for the Windows and Linux
 versions of ghostview to use the same font files. I have a dual-boot
 laptop and this could save me disk space.

 What I had in mind is something like
  - install gsview and ghostscript for windows
  - in linux, where the font would be under some directory
    in /usr, change the font references to point at
    the windows partition.

 Do you think this may work? or can it be possible anyhow?


   Many thanks,
           Yuval Krymolowski
