Bug#631403: ghostscript: gs can't view eps files with 'outside' fonts

[Andres Cimmarusti <acimmarusti@gmail.com>]

Package: ghostscript
Version: 9.02~dfsg-2
Severity: important

First of all I want to point out this is not a problem when using gs in 
squeeze. I have a gnuplot script to generate an eps file using cmr10 
truetype font (the default font used in TeX). Gs is refusing to display 
the eps file, furthermore, I've been trying to use 'epstopdf' to convert 
it to pdf with similar errors:

Can't find (or can't open) font file /usr/share/ghostscript/9.02/Resource/Font//usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-lyx/cmr10.ttf.

GPL Ghostscript 9.02: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

If I don't use this font, then it works, but it defaults to courier font.
