Installing 'xorg-x11-fonts-dpi75' and/or 'xorg-x11-fonts-dpi100' will probably resolve these warnings. It's unclear to me if gv needs a dependency on more font packages or not, since the PS could be using any fonts?

I could go either way on this. On the one hand, gv is a postscript
viewer and has no control over what fonts it might be asked to
display.  On the other hand, gv is intended to be run under X11, so
maybe it should require the most basic X11 fonts.

gv requires ghostscript which requires ghostscript-fonts-other and urw-base35-fonts which should provide a fallback from Helvetica to Nimbus. Perhaps for older apps and documents urw-base35-fonts-legacy could or should (also) be included? Could that solve the problem, or would it still require xorg-x11-fonts-dpi{75,100)?
