I think I found the problem:
I installed the fonts locally with type1inst and I got this error message:
________________________________________________________
bash-2.05b$ type1inst
type1inst Version 0.6.1 (11th February 1998)
Copyright (C) 1996-1998 James Macnicol (james.macnicol at mailexcite.com)
There are a total of 35 PostScript fonts in this directory
[10]
[20]
[30]
-------------------------------------------------------
35 fonts found
35 were standard PostScript fonts
-------------------------------------------------------
While reading the existing Fontmap file I saw 49 entries
which mentioned a filename which now does not exist. Most likely
you removed or renamed the file. I ignored these entries.
-------------------------------------------------------
There were 315 lines in Fontmap which I couldn't understand
These were ignored.
-------------------------------------------------------
Part of those 49 entries that got dropped are the aliases for the fonts
Helvetica, Times and Courier. In the type1inst.log I see:
Couldn't understand line :
% Aliases
<SNIP -- irrelevant lines removed>
Couldn't understand line :
/Times-Roman /NimbusRomNo9L-Regu ;
Couldn't understand line :
/Times-Italic /NimbusRomNo9L-ReguItal ;
Couldn't understand line :
/Times-Bold /NimbusRomNo9L-Medi ;
Couldn't understand line :
/Times-BoldItalic /NimbusRomNo9L-MediItal ;
<SNIP -- irrelevant lines removed>
So I looked at the original Fontmap and see that it has not changed in years:
bash-2.05b$ ll Fontmap
-rw-r--r-- 1 bsd bsd - 13604 Oct 30 1997 Fontmap
So something is wrong with type1inst (which IIRC) is a PERL script or
something is wrong with the ghostscript-gnu port?
This would never be noticed on the ports install because the port invokes
type1inst with no logging of errors and it prints out no errors, while it is
running.
