Attached EPS file is a minimum reproducer. Steps to Reproduce: Create EPS file which mentions font Helvetica-Narrow-BoldOblique (note that the font needs not be used in the actual plot; the bug appears when the font is mentioned in the Preamble). Run gs, gv, or any other viewer/program which relies on ghostscript to display or otherwise show EPS files Actual results: Error, see above Expected results: EPS file is shown on display. Additional info: The following patch fixes the problem: $ diff -u /usr/share/ghostscript/9.22/Resource/Init/Fontmap.GS.old /usr/share/ghostscript/9.22/Resource/Init/Fontmap.GS --- /usr/share/ghostscript/9.22/Resource/Init/Fontmap.GS.old 2017-11-25 10:13:53.909366458 +0100 +++ /usr/share/ghostscript/9.22/Resource/Init/Fontmap.GS 2017-11-25 17:17:13.212881405 +0100 @@ -96,7 +96,7 @@ /Helvetica-Bold /NimbusSans-Bold ; /Helvetica-BoldOblique /NimbusSans-BoldItalic ; /Helvetica-Narrow-Bold /NimbusSansNarrow-Bold ; -/Helvetica-Narrow-BoldOblique /NimbusSansNarrow-BdOblique ; +/Helvetica-Narrow-BoldOblique /NimbusSansNarrow-BoldOblique ; /Helvetica-Narrow /NimbusSansNarrow-Regular ; /Helvetica-Narrow-Oblique /NimbusSansNarrow-Oblique ; /Helvetica /NimbusSans-Regular ; (It's the font name, not the file name, which seems to be relevant in Fontmap.GS).
I have informed upstream about this (created a new BZ for it). I hope to speak with them about this tomorrow. If they accept the patch, I can roll it out by tomorrow or Wednesday. :) Thanks for the report! ;)
