Introduction to ESP Ghostscript
ESP Ghostscript is Easy Software Product's fork of GPL Ghostscript (ESP also develops CUPS). It came about because the CUPS developers were using a customized version of GPL Ghostscript that included support for non-postscript printers and the various Linux distributions wanted a single, standard version of GPL Ghostscript that included all of CUPS' changes.

Configuring
Fonts
To finish the installation, unpack all fonts you've downloaded to /usr/share/ghostscript
tar -xvf ../ghostscript-fonts-std-8.11.tar.gz -C /usr/share/ghostscript tar -xvf ../gnu-gs-fonts-other-6.0.tar.gz -C /usr/share/ghostscript
Ensure the ownerships of the files are root:root:
chown -v root:root /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts/*
