Bug#379901: gs-gpl: `ps2pdf' fails to embed URW++ fonts from `gsfonts'

[Ludovic Courtes <ludovic.courtes@laas.fr>]

Package: gs-gpl
Version: 8.50-1.1
Severity: normal


Hi,

GS contains a mapping (under the file `Fontmap.GS') that allows it to properly 
map Adobe font names (e.g., `Times-Roman') to their free equivalent font by URW++ 
(e.g., `NimbusRomNo9L-Regu' --- these fonts are available in the `gsfonts' 
package).

However, when converting a PS file that refers to the Adobe font names (in DSC 
comments) to PDF with the `prepress' setting (using `ps2pdf 
-dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress'; this setting tells GS to embed all fonts in the 
resulting PDF file, among other things), GS does _not_ embed the URW++ fonts in 
the resulting file, although the fontmap file is accessible.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
