You can read the docs that come with gs/gsfonts in
/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts
/usr/local/share/docs/gsfonts

These fonts are REALLY MODIFIED and derived from URW set (in XFree86).

I take my chance on gsfonts thinking that the added Cyrillic glyphs must 
be of interest for russian users.

But I can go backwards and teach gs where are de XFree86 type1 fonts 
installed. (Patch at home and tested against gnu and afpl gs).

This must require tweak the font install of gs/gsonts (Not install the 
type1 fonts in XFree86) and RUN_DEPENDS on 
x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontScalable.

With a tweak of the fonts.* files on x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontScalable 
(Seems that java really needs Adobe foundries) and closing the 
fontconfig PR, we can reach the final goal with 
x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontScalable.

I can work this other way upon request in 1~2 days depend on free-time.
