Bug Description
Binary package hint: ghostscript
GPL Ghostscript SVN PRE-RELEASE 8.64 on ubuntu jaunty does'nt load anymore ps files.
ghostscript:
Installed: 8.64.dfsg.
Candidate: 8.64.dfsg.
Version table:
*** 8.64.dfsg.
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
ubuntu jaunty x86_64
Description: Ubuntu jaunty (development branch)
Release: 9.04
evince and any other frontend that rely on gs for postscript rendering do not work anymore. No printing is possible on non postscript printers. launching the interpreter from terminal (for instance using the ps2pdf program) gives this stack:
Error: /invalidfont in /findfont
Operand stack:
iso1dict fCourier --nostringval-- Courier
Execution stack:
%interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --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
Dictionary stack:
--dict:

Current file position is 16162
GPL Ghostscript SVN PRE-RELEASE 8.64: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
Input is simple ascii fortran source code transformed to ps using a2ps -o file.ps file.F
gs 8.63 worked ok, 8.64 gives error and is unusable.

Seems packaging has forgot some iportant Resource files.
What I have done to have it working again:
$ sudo su - ghostscript/ 8.64/Resource svn.ghostscript .com/ghostscrip t/trunk/ gs/Resource/ Init svn.ghostscript .com/ghostscrip t/trunk/ gs/Resource/ Font
Password:
# cd /usr/share/
# mv Font Font.backup
# mv Init Init.backup
# svn checkout http://
# svn checkout http://
now, doing a loadallfonts on gs prompt does work (some fonts missing, but evince now works).
For me missing files are the Fontmap and Fontmap.GS in Init directory, Do not know ghostscript enough to suggest anything more than this.
