Display Postscript (or on Linux Display Ghostscript) has nothing to do  
with GNUstep, other than we originally wanted to use DGS for display  
with GNUstep. It didn't work out due to the lack of alpha and  
compositing, as well as multiple context problems. DGS would probably  
work fine with your application though.

DGS also has nothing to do with the Window Manager, so it's fine to use  
with Gnome, or whatever. All it does is display in whatever window you  
create a DPS context for.

I'm a little unsure how you plan to use it with Framemaker though.  
Would Framemaker on Linux automatically figure out that there is  
Display Postscript on the machine?  I kind-of doubt it, but I don't  
really know for sure.

There's actually a released version of DGS on ftp.gnu.org/gnu/dgs

or you could get the CVS version (which hasn't been touched in years)  
from the GNUstep CVS site:
