>Description:

        The two ghostscript ports, ghostscript-gnu and ghostscript-afpl,
        do not work with cups/gimp-print.  I have tested on both an
        Epson Stylus Color 600 and an Epson Stylus C80.  The fonts
        are wrong in the output.  It looks like a monospaced font is
        being substituted for all fonts.  The previous version of
        ghostscript-gnu (7.05_5) works fine.  I am not sure if there
        is an incompatibility between cups/gimp-print and the newer
        versions of ghostscript or if some problems were introduced in
        the substantial changes that were made to the FreeBSD ports of
        these two programs.

        The problem can be seen by printing the cups test print page.
        I am using gimp-print so I am not sure if the problem exists
        with other cups backends.  Another way to view the problem is by
        printing a pdf document.  There are probably other viable test
        cases.  Printing the same document with ghostscript-gnu-7.05_5 and 
	ghostscript-gnu-7.06 should clearly show the problem.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Print the cups test page or a pdf document.
>Fix:

        Not sure.  There were substantial changes made to the ports'
        structure.
