True type fonts (TTF) with ghostscript

In order to use true type fonts with ghostscript, the Fontmap file must be changed and the environment variable GS_LIB must be set.

Fontmap

The ttf files used for ghostscript must be entered in the Fontmap file. On my system, this file is under c:\program files\gs\gs8.13\lib.
/Verdana (Verdana.ttf)

GS_LIB

Additionally, the environment Variable GS_LIB must point to the directory containing Verdana.ttf:
c:\> SET GS_LIB=c:\windows\fonts
