What *I* don't know why installing those fonts should have any influence whatsoever.
I don't know. It's working on Debian, and Debian has those fonts, so... I assumed that would fix it. Must be `$SOMETHING` else and I have no idea what exactly, off-hand...
But why did you install the std fonts in a different way than `ghostscript-fonts-other-6.0.tar.gz`? Shouldn't the two be installed in some similar fashion?
Because Debian does so. They install the "other" fonts in a special directory only for ghostscript and the "std" fonts in a shared "fontcache" directory. Probably so that other programs can use the fonts, too. I don't know why the "other" fonts don't also get installed in the shared "fontcache" directory, though. Maybe I should take a look at other packagers, like FreeBSD ports, arch and Fedora to see how they do it. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41895#comment:12> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
