After observation, I found the reason.

When -dSAFER or -dPARANOIDSAFER is defined, all of gs 8 load,
includes font files, must be in GS path.
/usr/share/fonts is not in GS path...

So most easy workaround is to let /usr/share/fonts in GS path.
But I believe it's just workaround.

IMHO best way is changing defoma script of gs-common to write
symlinked font path (/var/lib/defoma/gs.d/dirs/fonts/*) instead
of real font path (/usr/share/fonts/*) to
/var/lib/defoma/gs.d/dirs/fonts/cidfmap.
