From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020513 Description of problem: convert -verbose Test.svg Test.eps convert: Unable to read font (/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts/n019003l.pfb) [No such file or directory]. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.See above 2. 3. Additional info: The file /usr/X11R6/share/ImageMagick/type-ghostscript.mgk specifies an invalid path for the fonts.
This problem still exists in Rawhide (ImageMagick-5.4.6-2). The type-ghostscript.mgk should be changed either to use fonts from ghostscript-fonts or to use fonts from urw-fonts (or may be supply both type-ghostscript.mgk and type-urw.mgk)? This is a pretty nasty bug since it has a potential to break scripts that do not specify fonts explicitly (when, say, using -draw "text ..."). P.S. A similar problem existed in /usr/X11R6/share/ImageMagick/fonts.mgk in 7.2, but there it was not as harmful since X fonts were used by default.
tested with latest ImageMagick and http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Test/20011026/text-text-BE-01-ps.html and confirmed that it works now
