Hello,

With GNU Ghostscript 8.64, I noticed the following:

The problem stems from the fact that links to the URW+ PFB files
disappeared from `Fontmap.GS' sometime between 8.62 and 8.64.

I solved it in the NixOS distribution with this patch:

  
<URL:https://svn.nixos.org/websvn/nix/?op=comp&compare[]=...@15779&compare[]=...@15780>

Do you confirm that this is the right approach?

Thanks,
Ludo'.

PS: `bug-ghostscr...@gnu.org' seems to be swallowing emails without ever
    publishing them and without sending any kind of notification to the
    sender.  Perhaps a misconfiguration?
