I'm finding gv is almost unusable under Sid due to font errors, e.g.:
Error: /invalidfontGNU Ghostscript 6.51: Unrecoverable error, exit
code 1 in findfont
Operand stack:
F6_0 1 1 --nostringval-- Helvetica Font Helvetica
333398 Helvetica --nostringval-- Courier NimbusMonL-Regu
(NimbusMonL-Regu) NimbusMonL-Regu (NimbusMonL-Regu)
NimbusMonL-Regu
Execution stack:
%interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval--
%--nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval--
%--nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push
%1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop .runexec2
%--nostringval--
The file I'm attempting to read in this case (others produce similar
errors) is:
http://www.fibrespeed.net/~mbabcock/mirrors/ukgovtoss.ps.gz
gv/gs version:
gv package: Version: 1:3.5.8-22
gs package: Version: 6.51-5
I've got a feeling this is related to font paths. In my
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4, I have the following fontpath lines:
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/truetype"
FontPath "/usr/share/abisuite/fonts"
I've also got two sets of type1 fonts:
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/
Clues appreciated.
Peace.
