Well from I have read, gnustep does have a Display Postscript
extension built into it

so, I am trying to figure out can I achive the following;
1. Run Red Hat linux
2. With Gnome as the default Windows manager
3. With gnustep installed to render the display postscript as provided
by the framemaker documents.
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:
