The Configure interpreter dialog is comprised of three sections:
The General section.
The Palette options.
The Backing style.
One may edit the interpreter name which is by default set to gs suitable for most systems. One may also check any combination of three options.
Set Antialiasing for smoothly rendered text. Performing antialiasing is memory intensive and slower than a straightforward rendering of fonts. If short of memory or time you may wish to turn this option off. Early versions of Ghostscript could not perform antialiasing.
Check Platform fonts if you wish to use your native window system fonts rather than the fonts that come with your PostScript interpreter. Recent versions of Ghostscript come with good quality fonts.
Turn Messages on if you want to be informed of any output or error messages generated by your PostScript interpreter.
You may choose the palette to be used to render your PostScript document. The options are
Color
Grayscale
Monochrome
You have the choice of two methods to maintain the contents of a page in the viewer once it has been rendered by your PostScript interpreter. These are
Pixmap
Backing store
One method may be faster on your X server than the other. Also, some X servers do not offer a backing store.
