Yes, I can reproduce this. The reason is that your system GS does the following: > Can't find (or can't open) font file Arial-Bold. > Didn't find this font on the system! > Substituting font Helvetica-Bold for Arial-Bold. > Loading NimbusSans-Bold font from > /usr/share/ghostscript/9.54.0/Resource/Font/NimbusSans-Bold... ie Ghostscript is loading its own font, whereas > Can't find (or can't open) font file Arial-Bold. > Didn't find this font on the system! > Substituting font Helvetica-Bold for Arial-Bold. > Can't find (or can't open) font file %rom%Resource/Font/%rom%Resource/F. > Can't find (or can't open) font file NimbusSans-Bold. > Can't find (or can't open) font file %rom%Resource/Font/%rom%Resource/F. > Can't find (or can't open) font file NimbusSans-Bold. > Didn't find this font on the system! we don't ship the fonts twice (GUB did). The right fix is not to reference fonts via \postscript and then letting Ghostscript figure out where to find them. > The GS version is not the problem, as it is the same between these > two cases. Not quite, our Ghostscript is stripped down to not include unnecessary stuff and that is not prepared for users doing stuff with \postscript. > Relatedly, another user reported that system fonts didn't load anymore > (but didn't provide details yet). If system fonts don't work anymore via LilyPond, that would be worth of a bug report. Jonas
