The current state of affairs is as follows: - Ghostscript has received a new set of fonts from URW++ and released them to the public on 30 Mar 2015: http://downloads.ghostscript.com/public/fonts/ - They also released Ghostscript 9.16 which includes this version of the fonts on the same date. - Unfortunately, URW++ decided to rename some of the font names in a rather arbitrary way. This makes them incomaptible to anything but ghostscript itself, which uses its own font name -> file name mapping in /etc/ghostscript/fontmap.d/10gsfonts.conf. - Fontconfig upstream has been informed about the new font release https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85225 and added the new font names as metric aliases alongside the old names: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/commit/conf.d/30-metric -aliases.conf?id=b732bf057f4b3ec3bac539803005e9c42d056b2a - I am going to wait until this fontconfig version enters Debian and add a Breaks relation for older fontconfig packages. - Karl Berry and Norbert Preining of TeXLive have been informed about the new font release. On 19 Apr 2015 Karl told me that they will research the situation after the TL115 release with "research" most probably meaning compatibility and regression checking. So, I am currently waiting for a new fontconfig release and approval of the fonts by the TeXLive people. Cheers, Fabian
