And don't forget to read your News. In this case, there is an item in the very
first entry about embedFonts:

previous default, format = \"pswrite\", was removed in\nGhostscript 9.10."

[3] "read.table(), readLines() and scan() have a new argument to\ninfluence the

found in the input. (Related to PR#15625 which was puzzled by\nthe behaviour
in this unsupported case.)"
