The problem is related to the TrueType font definitions for gs.

Invoking gs with no arguments produces an error message with the bad
gs.Fontmap file.

The problem is line 564 of gs.Fontmap.  There is some garbage data in
the Lucida Sans Typewriter Bold Oblique definition line.  I've corrected
this; gs now runs without errors.

Patch attached.

gs version: 5.10
Debian package: gs 5.10-9 Postscript interpreter
Debian version: woody
