I found where it was looking by running gs under "strace"
(eg: strace gs sum.ps)
Then, you can see it trying different places to find fonts:
open("./Fontmap", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
open("/usr/lib/ghostscript/4.03/Fontmap", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/ghostscript/fonts/Fontmap", O_RDONLY) = 4
...and...
open("/usr/lib/ghostscript/fonts/n021003l.pfb", O_RDONLY) = 5
But, as has been posted, the latest gs and gs-alladin deb files
have this fixed.
