I had the same problem. It appears that GS isn't finding the font
files. Setting environment variables GS_LIB and/or GS_FONTPATH as per
the GS documentation fixes it. I'm not sure whether this is the way the
packager intended things to work or why the upgrade broke it.
If you want more detail let me know - I'm not at my Linux box at the
moment.
