Works fine here.
(4.0-ish i386 snapshot)
uname -a
OpenBSD karhu.berlin.teles.de 4.0 GENERIC#1107 i386
pkg_info|grep -i postscript
a2ps-4.13bp3-a4 format ascii files for printing on PostScript printers
ghostscript-7.05p7 GNU PostScript interpreter
ghostscript-fonts-6.0p0 35 standard PostScript fonts with Adobe name aliases
gv-3.5.8p4 PostScript and PDF previewer
psutils-0.17p0-a4 manipulating PostScript documents
gv has an -antialias option, and frankly I see no difference in the
output other then the variant mentioned in DESCR being a lot slower.
The DISPLAY/DEVICE makes no difference. The default is x11 anyway (at
least on this platform, Jason was talking about alpha?) and if gs
doesn't know it, it ignores it. I tried x11alpha too, works and I see no
difference. Maybe something with my eyes? ;)
The line also works with ghostview and plain gs.
