Maybe this is something I didn't point out recently. ghostscript
output is now just about as good as that of any other postscript
interpreter, because they have a real set of outline fonts.
ghostscript is still slower than DPS, but the sipb locker maintainers
might want to reconsider turning off DPS support in the sipb xdvi.
