Bug#434310: /usr/share/gs-gpl/fonts does not exist



Package: gs-gpl
Version: 8.54.dfsg.1-5

Run 'gs -h' and you'll get the following in the output...

Search path:
  . : /usr/share/gs-gpl/8.54/lib : /usr/share/gs-gpl/8.54/Resource :
  /usr/share/gs-gpl/fonts : /var/lib/defoma/gs.d/dirs/fonts :
  /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts : /usr/local/lib/ghostscript/fonts :
  /usr/share/fonts

The problem is that /usr/share/gs-gpl/fonts does not exist. (Neither does /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts, /usr/local/lib/ghostscript/fonts, nor /usr/share/fonts for that matter.) Worse yet, /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts is not on that list anywhere. That makes things difficult that may be looking for the font files. See:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2004/08/msg08068.html

Those who wish to build HylaFAX on the system must configure --with-PATH_AFM="/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts" --with-FONTMAP="/usr/share/gs-gpl/8.54/lib" in order to get things right. Certainly HylaFAX behavior could be improved in utilizing this search path, but the ultimate problem that the gsfonts directory is not anywhere on that search path.
