Bug#496070: [ghostscript] opentypefont



This issue has severe real-life impact for browsing the web! The attached screenshots show the bottom of the <http://www.osnews.com/> page displayed with iceweasel 3.5.16-4, once without my patch (i.e. without Truetype fonts, Helvetica mapped to Type1 Nimbus Sans) and once with my patch (i.e. with Truetype fonts, Helvetica mapped to Truetype Nimbus Sans). Please have a look e.g. at how the Name "Adam Scheinberg" is rendered, the improvement is overwhelming.
