Sounds like category is in the wrong place. I don't have the exact same file, 
but in /etc/defoma/hints/gsfonts.hints, I have

category type1
begin /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/a010013l.pfb
  FontName = URWGothicL-Book
  Charset = ISO8859-1
  Family = URW_Gothic_L
  GeneralFamily = Gothic
  Weight = Light
  Width = Variable
  Shape = NoSerif Upright
  Priority = 20

... etc.

Please file a bug on that package.
