  • Apple drops PostScript support in Preview for macOS Ventura

    will_colbertwill_colbert
    This affects viewing man pages with Preview. Before you could output a man page as Postscript and pipe it into Preview. For example: "man -t ls | open -fa Preview", which is dramatically nicer than viewing them in Terminal.

    Dropping of Postscript support in Preview seems to have broken this.

    ----
    You can just add the pstopdf command to the pipeline to convert the ps to a pdf file that is then given to Preview.

    man -t ls | pstopdf -o ~/tmp.pdf | open -fa Preview ~/tmp.pdf 

    and define it in your .zshrc or .bashrc:

        pman() {
            man -t ${@} | pstopdf -o ~/tmp.pdf | open -fa Preview ~/tmp.pdf
        }
