Bug 161187

This seems to be because the fonts are no longer found:

/usr/share/ghostscript/8.15/Resource/Font/GothicBBB-Medium-EUC-H.
Can't find (or can't open) font file GothicBBB-Medium-EUC-H.

a patch to build against freetype

Yes, that's right. BTW our gs wasn't enabled FreeType Font Rendering Engine
which is necessary to take care of TTF. this patch is for that.

Created attachment 116638 [details]
a patch for ghostscript.spec

BTW /usr/share/ghostscript/Resource has to be moved under
/usr/share/ghostscript/8.15 unless the search path is modified. and the below
needs to be added into FAPIcidfmap for Japanese say,
/Kochi-Gothic           << /Path
(/usr/share/fonts/japanese/TrueType/kochi-gothic-subst.ttf) /CIDFontType 0 /FAPI
/FreeType /CSI [(Japan1) 2] >> ;
/Kochi-Mincho           << /Path
(/usr/share/fonts/japanese/TrueType/kochi-mincho-subst.ttf) /CIDFontType 0 /FAPI
/FreeType /CSI [(Japan1) 2] >> ;
/GothicBBB-Medium               << /Path
(/usr/share/fonts/japanese/TrueType/kochi-gothic-subst.ttf) /CIDFontType 0 /FAPI
/FreeType /CSI [(Japan1) 2] >> ;
/Ryumin-Light           << /Path
(/usr/share/fonts/japanese/TrueType/kochi-mincho-subst.ttf) /CIDFontType 0 /FAPI
/FreeType /CSI [(Japan1) 2] >> ;

We need similar mechanism to install this font specific information by the
separated package as we did. just FYI.

Okay, I've added your freetype patch to ghostscript-8.15-0.rc3.4 to try it out.

So, now we just need to get /etc/ghostscript/* working again.  For the time
being I've added the Japanese fonts from comment #4 into FAPIcidfmap.

a patch to load the separated FAPIcidfmap

Thanks. just backported -split-CIDFnmap.patch for gs8.

diff between -0.rc3.4 and mine.

NOTE: actually I don't have a look at where the search path is specified at yet
though. so gs probably won't still go look under /etc/ghostscript.

fixed crap comment...

Ok, --with-fontpath seems to work for this. so it should be
--with-fontpath=%{_datadir}/%{name}/%{gs_ver}/lib:%{_datadir}/%{name}/%{gs_ver}/Resource:%{_sysconfdir}/%{name}
or so.

and %{_datadir}/fonts/default/{Type1,ghostscript} too

Thanks.  Building 8.15-0.rc3.5, so let's see how that looks.

updated split-font-configuration.patch

Sorry, found a typo in patch... but it's not so urgent stuff because it won't
appears unless there is .runlibfileifexists in Fontmap. please update it in the
next build when it's needed.
Also, I've updated CJK fonts-* packages with FAPIcidfmaps and confirmed gs can
finds CJK fonts now.

Tested with all test-{big5,euc,jis,sjis}.ps with ghostscript-8.15-0.rc3.5 and 
updated fonts-* packages. Confirm the rendering is good now. However, somw error
messages was observed, is it due to the typo from Comment #13?


Thanks.

No, it's not. look, gs is just trying to use FAPI to handle the fonts first and
if it's failed, going to try the native renderer. that's it.
