My apologies if there is a more appropriate place to ask beginner questions like mine. If there is, please tell me. A lot has changed about "Ghostscript places" around the 'Net, and me essentially having been offline most of the time for a few years, it looks like a new planet to me ... (I'm delving more deeply into Ghostscript than I ever have in my past active internet years, and the more my studying and learning takes off, the more questions I'll have to ask).
I've started to re-read all of the Ghostscript documentation, starting off with 'Use.htm'. It's a lot of material to digest, and I'm appreciating any help I can get to make this happen more quickly (or sometimes: happen at all). So here is my first question: Is there a quick way to find out which were the compiled-in defaults and features into the Ghostscript executable I'm currently using? I know that I can use 'gs -h' to find out: 1. supported input formats 2. available devices 3. current search path 4. if or if not the initialization files are compiled in However, "Language.htm" in the documentation tells me about Display Postscript: "facilities are available only if the dps feature or the level2 feature was selected when Ghostscript was built". The same is true for the composite font extensions: "are available only if the compfont feature or the level2 feature was selected when Ghostscript was built". And more examples are to be found in the same file.. As an example for another open source program, have a look at Samba. If you run smbd -b you'll get a list of all config options that were applied when the executable was build. Is there any similar facility for Ghostscript that I'm not aware of which lists me all built-in capabilies of my current gs executable? (I know I could always try and build Ghostscript with exactly the options I want or need. But _you_ know that in real life this is not always feasible, and you'll just have to use what is available right now.)
