Description of problem: it'd be nice to update ghostscript and ghostscript font to the latest version at least in the upcoming fc6. the current version is 8.15 while the latest is 8.54. while the latest fonts are 8.50 and current version is 5.50:-( Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
"Upgrading" to GPL 8.54 from ESP 8.15 would actually be a regression in several ways. We need to wait until the ESP integration work is done. Please be patient.
and what about the fonts. they have nothing to do with ghostscript version afais. and it's only 5.50 while on http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3498 it's 8.11?
Yes, once the feature freeze is over we can update to that (and perhaps also with an FC6 update).

We shipped 8.11 (dated December 2003) back in FC2, and upgraded to the current font collection (dated June 2004) after that. Can anyone find a newer collection of GPL GS fonts? Please re-open if so..
That was *downgrade* in June 2004. This one is _still_ newer: ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/fonts/ghostscript-fonts-std-8.11.tar.gz
We have been shipping the 'other' fonts, not the 'std' fonts, in the ghostscript-fonts package since this change: * Fri Nov 13 1998 Preston Brown <pbrown> - removed the std fonts...now shared between X11 and gs with URW fonts pkg. In fact, we briefly tried the 'std-8.11' tarball in 2004, and reverted it because it broke things: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=99323#c32 So we'll stick with 5.50 unless someone can point to a newer 'other' fonts package.
