Ghostscript's free fonts
Two sets of free fonts are supplied for Ghostscript:
35 commercial-quality Type 1 basic PostScript fonts -- Times, Helvetica, Courier, Symbol, etc. -- contributed by URW++ Design and Development Incorporated, of Hamburg, Germany (
http://www.urwpp.de/). Fontmap names them all.
A miscellaneous set including Cyrillic, kana, and fonts derived from the free Hershey fonts, with improvements (such as adding accented characters) by Thomas Wolff. The Hershey-based fonts are quite different from traditional printer or display fonts; you can read about them in more detail in the documentation on Hershey fonts.
