This highly depends on the software you use and how you generate PostScript files. To program with PostScript, and to display and print PostScript documents, I highly recommend Ghostscript, a PostScript interpreter:
https://www.ghostscript.com/ https://www.ghostscript.com/
It is available on several platforms and can show the graphical output using windowing systems such as X11. Please see the project's documentation for more information, and consider filing an issue if it behaves in unexpected ways.
The IRC channel #ghostscript on Freenode, and the newsgroup comp.lang.postscript are also good resources to learn more about PostScript and to ask questions.
One interesting fact about PostScript fonts is that fonts are encoded in the same language as entire documents! This shows how versatile and general PostScript is. Here is more information about PostScript fonts:

PostScript defines a set of fonts that must be supported by conforming interpreters, the so called Core Font Set:
