Sorry, I had totally forgotten about this issue.

I did not see the final generated product attached to the issue. On the system I am looking at, there is a /etc/ghostscript/fontmap.d/10gsfonts.conf file which must be similar in nature to the /etc/ghostscript/fontmap.d/10fonts-urw-base35.conf which Debian is using.

Rather than modify type-ghostscript.mgk.in, it is likely better to create a new file "type-urw-base35.mgk" and add it to the list of files specifically for Debian. Since the font installation paths are fixed for Debian then just store hard-coded paths in the mgk file since there is no reason to configure or search for them.

I recall that Ghostscript (i.e. "Artifex Software, Inc.") has disowned the original set of font files which was distributed with it so perhaps these URW fonts are not accurately described as Ghostscript fonts.

GraphicsMagick should of course support Fontconfig. I am not sure what the impact of doing so (e.g. run-time performance) is. I have not studied it at all.
