Bug#736423: libgs9: findfont "Can't find font file Times"

[Nick Manini <nicola.manini@fisica.unimi.it>]

Package: libgs9
Version: 9.05~dfsg-8+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
	I discovered this problem when ps2pdf failed on a machine running
jessie, i.e. with version 9.05~dfsg-8+b1 of libgs9.
Then I tracked the problem down to libgs9, since it occurs whenever opening
certain .ps or .eps files with many different programs, including gs, gv,
eps2eps, gimp, evince.

When opening such images, of which an example is available here
    http://materia.fisica.unimi.it/manini/tmp/dpdv_bad.eps (22 kB),
gs fails with the following error:

Can't find (or can't open) font file
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.05/Resource/Font/Times.
Can't find (or can't open) font file Times.
Querying operating system for font files...
Error: /typecheck in /findfont
Operand stack:
   Times
...

This error is a regression compared to the version 9.05~dfsg-6.3+deb7u1 of
libgs9 currently in wheezy: with the wheezy version the same pictures show
and are processed just fine.

To demonstrate this I ran
   eps2eps dpdv_bad.eps dpdv.eps
on a machine running wheezy.
The resulting file is
    http://materia.fisica.unimi.it/manini/tmp/dpdv.eps (15 KB)
which displays ok in both versions.

Thanx!
		Nick Manini
