Package: gs-gpl
Version: 8.01-5
Severity: normal

I wanted to change what fonts gs-gpl uses when a PS file calls, e.g.,
for Times-Roman. I therefore registered a hint file with entries like:

begin /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/urw/times/utmr8a.pfb
  AFM = /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/urw/times/utmr8a.afm
  FontName = Times-Roman
  Charset = ISO8859-1
  Family = Times
  GeneralFamily = Roman
  Weight = Regular
  Width = Variable
  Shape = Normal Upright
  Priority = 30
end

with 'defoma-font register-all <hintfile>'. I confirmed with dfontmgr
that the fonts are installed correctly for 'gs'. However, gs-gpl still
uses the NimbusSerifL provided by gsfonts. Calling gs-gpl with strace
indicates that gs-gpl reades /usr/share/gs-gpl/8.01/lib/Fontmap.GS
before it reads /var/lib/defoma/gs.d/dirs/fonts/Fontmap, and it seems
that one can't overwrite the settings made by Fontmap.GS later on. I was
able to circumvent this by commenting the line in /etc/gs-gpl/Fontmap
that loads Fontmap.GS. However, I think gs-gpl should not provide
Fontmap.GS at all and only use defoma (or /etc/gs-gpl/Fontmap) for font
configuration.

For gs-esp the situation is worse, as there is no '/etc/gs-esp/Fontmap'
and one would have to edit /usr/share/gs-esp/7.07/lib/Fontmap, which is
of course not save with respect to updates.

BTW, Fontmap.GS also defines some fonts that aren't provided in Debian
at all (Utopia).
