I'm not very interested in the thread, but concerning this: "I've seen some problems with ghostscript-fonts (because I don't understand why it wont work with ghostscript-afpl) ...." I submitted the first gnu-ghostscript and gsfonts ports so I got to answer.. The fonts on both ghostscript versions are exactly the same. Our gsfonts port doesn't work on afpl ghostscript for a simple reason: both ports install the fonts on different directories. The Aladdin people did this on purpose because the cannot use GPL'd fonts. I suggested some years ago they should use the LGPL and unify the font distribution but the copyright owners didn't like the idea, I guess someone should tell Aladdin that dual licensing was invented afterwards. just my $0.02.
