/usr/share/ghostscript/9.05/Resource/CIDFSubst/DroidSansFallback.ttf: broken symbolic link to `../../../../fonts/truetype/droid/DroidSansFallback.ttf'
Perhaps that is the reason why the font substitution doesn't work?
Also, in the target directory of the symlink there is a file with a
similar (but not quite the same) name:
[13+0]~# ls /usr/share/fonts/truetype/droid/*Fallback*
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/droid/DroidSansFallbackFull.ttf
WTH is really going on here?
Oh. You are right!
Fixed in git now. Unfortunately doesn't make Ghostscript use that Font
:-(
