#50475: ghostscript needs font handling fix for PR696554 ------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: howarth.at.macports@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: ghostscript | ------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by howarth.at.macports@…): Upstream analyzed the origin of the bug as... It's a dfont file, which Postscript (and thus Ghostscript) does not support. It's possible we could add a non-standard extension to support dfonts, but a) this stuff is written in Postscript, and it is not really desirable to have platform specific stuff in Postscript, and b) I understood even Apple were shifting away from using dfont files. So, for now, it's best just to handle the incompatibility gracefully. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50475#comment:2> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
