Dear Maintainer,
Ghostscript produces the following error when operating on a postscript file
that references an unknown font name, but only when the fonts-font-awesome
package is installed:
$ cat test.ps

GPL Ghostscript 9.05: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
Removing the fonts-font-awesome package restores the correct behavior, which is
that ghostscript does not find a matching font and falls back to Courier.
I used strace to determine that the "awesome" font was the most recent file
opened by ghostscript before it exited. The fonts-font-awesome package was
recently installed as a new dependency of the latest texlive-fonts-extra
package.
This behavior looks somewhat similar to this upstream bug report:
