I regret to report that the results of using this command, after having 
installed Slack4's gs, are roughly the same as the results I get when 
trying to view pdf files using xpdf. It opens a viewing window but, unlike 
xpdf, instead of random characters appearing on the page, the page is 
simply blank. If I run this command on a file with English text on it, the 
file displays pretty normally--much like the results I get with 
English-language pdf's when I view them with xpdf. Maybe I'll find the 
resolution later.

Thanks,
James
