don't delete Font dir on the spec file:

# Don't ship URW fonts; we already have them.
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/ghostscript/%{gs_dot_ver}/Resource/Font

because urw-fonts-2.4-6 are older(and with bugs) than the fonts included in gs.

or get it a new urw-fonts code from http://svn.ghostscript.com/ghostscript/trunk/urw-fonts/ . There is no more ftp://ftp.gnome.ru/fonts/sources

-thanks-

also the ghostscript-fonts package must be deleted, because they are the _same_ fonts than urw-fonts. It's a pure "GNU" package when gs was not free!

Comment 2 Nicolas Mailhot 2009-02-17 18:12:13 UTC
And anyway they both need to get fixed for F11 font infra changes or they won't be functional for F11 users

bug #477389
bug #477477

Behdad's and Hughsie's stuff assumes sane packages have been converted by release tiume by their maintainers.

I don't think this is true actually.  There are fonts shipped in ghostscript-fonts that are not shipped in urw-fonts or ghostscript, such as Hershey and Calligraphic-Katakana/Hiragana.

i don't think the urw-fonts-2.4-6 are older. The gs fonts in trunk are still based on 1.0.7pre43. The urw-fonts-2.4-6 are based on 1.0.7pre44 and it includes several fixes.

It's correct that ghostscript removes the fonts included in gs

it's correct that the url ftp://ftp.gnome.ru/fonts/sources is not reachable, i tried to contact Valek but still didn't get any respone yet.

no, it's not the same fonts what are in urw-fonts shipped.
