Package: gs-gpl Version: 8.01-5 Severity: normal I wanted to change what fonts gs-gpl uses when a PS file calls, e.g., for Times-Roman. I therefore registered a hint file with entries like:
begin /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/urw/times/utmr8a.pfb AFM = /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/urw/times/utmr8a.afm FontName = Times-Roman Charset = ISO8859-1 Family = Times GeneralFamily = Roman Weight = Regular Width = Variable Shape = Normal Upright Priority = 30 end with 'defoma-font register-all <hintfile>'. I confirmed with dfontmgr that the fonts are installed correctly for 'gs'. However, gs-gpl still uses the NimbusSerifL provided by gsfonts. Calling gs-gpl with strace indicates that gs-gpl reades /usr/share/gs-gpl/8.01/lib/Fontmap.GS before it reads /var/lib/defoma/gs.d/dirs/fonts/Fontmap, and it seems that one can't overwrite the settings made by Fontmap.GS later on. I was able to circumvent this by commenting the line in /etc/gs-gpl/Fontmap that loads Fontmap.GS. However, I think gs-gpl should not provide Fontmap.GS at all and only use defoma (or /etc/gs-gpl/Fontmap) for font configuration. For gs-esp the situation is worse, as there is no '/etc/gs-esp/Fontmap' and one would have to edit /usr/share/gs-esp/7.07/lib/Fontmap, which is of course not save with respect to updates. BTW, Fontmap.GS also defines some fonts that aren't provided in Debian at all (Utopia). cheerio ralf -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10-thinkpad Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages gs-gpl depends on: ii gs-common 0.3.7 Common files for different ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libr ii libgimpprint1 4.2.7-10 The Gimp-Print printer dri ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 Inter-Client Exchange libr ii libjpeg62 6b-10 The Independent JPEG Group ii libpaper1 1.1.14-3 Library for handling paper ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System Session Ma ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System protocol c ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System miscellane ii libxt6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4.sarge.2 compression library - runt -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
