1 Hi,
2
3 having emerged app-text/ghostscript-gpl-8.71-r2
4
5 ghostscript bails out for a postscript file
6 which was generated by a2ps containing
7
8 /fCourier ISO-8859-1Encoding /Courier reencode_font
9
10 which causes a ghostscript error:
11 Error: /invalidfont in /findfont
12 Operand stack:
13 iso1dict fCourier --nostringval-- Courier
14 Execution stack:
15 %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-GPL Ghostscript 8.71: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
16 - --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push 1862 1 3 %oparray_pop 1861 1 3 %oparray_pop 1845 1 3 %oparray_pop 1739 1 3 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- %errorexec_pop .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 1820 4 5 %oparray_pop

18 --dict:1159/1684(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:71/200(L)-- --dict:56/200(L)-- --dict:0/8(L)--
19 Current allocation mode is local
20 Last OS error: 2
21
22 Has anybody experienced such an error?
23 Which fonts should be installed with ghostscript?
24 The ebuild requires media-fonts/urw-fonts which is blocking
25 media-fonts/gnu-gs-fonts-std
26
27 Many thanks for a hint,
28 Helmut.
