I recently upgraded to CentoS 7.9. Sadly, Ghostscript no longer renders to
an X11 screen.
I use Groff 1.22.4, standard configure.
I have a PDF file while displays nicely using Acrobat reader on Windows
but does not render properly wioth 'evince' 3.28.2, for example the tiny
PDF file attached.
Any suggestions? What PDF viewer should I use?
The output of
pdffonts a.pdf
is
name type encoding emb sub
uni object ID
------------------------------------ ----------------- ---------------- --- ---

Times-Bold Type 1 Custom no no

Note that configure said:
configure:
No URW fonts in .pfb format were found on your system, URW fonts
generation for 'devpdf' will not work properly. These fonts can be
downloaded here:
http://downloads.ghostscript.com/public/fonts/urw-base35-v1.10.zip
By default groff will search these fonts in the paths given by `gs
-h' and in these 2 default directories:
'/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/' and
'/opt/local/share/fonts/urw-fonts/' (paths used by
font/devpdf/Foundry.in). You can also pass the option
'--with-urw-fonts-dir=DIR' to 'configure' to set a custom path. You
would need to re-run the 'configure' script after installing these
fonts.
Note - That message needs to be fixed because the URL is no longer valid.
