Maybe you need to blame me? :-)

It seems that we didn't saw that ImageMagick was already using the
system fonts PLUS the ghostscript ones (by explicitly including them
in type.xml) [it could be true that on 2006 ImageMagick didn't had
support for fontconfig, but now it has and it reads the system fonts]
So I was wrong in understanding that ImageMagick wasn't reading the fonts
now.

One thing that I don't understand however (and if somebody knows why,
I would be grateful for an explanation) is why fontconfig/imagemagick
doesn't see the ghostscripts fonts (and why it's necessary to
explicitly include them in type.xml).

But well, from what I see, it's just necessary a new upload reverting the
patch.
Agreed on this?

Thank you very much!
And sorry for the mess.

Best regards,
Nelson
