<P>
<H3><A NAME="ss5.6">5.6 Configure interpreter</A>
</H3>

<P>
<P>The Configure interpreter dialog is comprised of three sections:
<P>
<OL>
<LI>The <B>General</B> section.</LI>
<LI>The <B>Palette</B> options.</LI>
<LI>The <B>Backing</B> style.</LI>
</OL>
<P>
<H4>General</H4>

<P>
<P>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.
<P>
<P>
<P>Set <EM>Antialiasing</EM> 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.
<P>
<P>
<P>Check <EM>Platform fonts</EM> 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.
<P>
<P>
<P>Turn <EM>Messages</EM> on if you want to be informed of any output or error
messages generated by your PostScript interpreter.

<P>
<H4>Backing</H4>

<P>
<P>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
<P>
<UL>
<LI>Pixmap</LI>
<LI>Backing store</LI>
</UL>
<P>One method may be faster on your X server than the other. Also, some X servers do
not offer a backing store.
