This appears to be a bug in ghostscript having to do with .woff files. http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=695031 I applied the patch given above and it fixed the problem. [Impact] Ghostscript gets unusable when fonts which are incompatible with Ghostscript are installed. This makes printing not working for nearly all printers and displaying PostScript files gets impossible. [Test Case] Install a package with .woff fonts: sudo apt-get install fonts-font-awesome Then try to print or display PostScript files, or call Ghostscript directly: gs file.pdf Current Ghostscript will error and your printing or file display will not work. The proposed patch will make Ghostscript immune against the .woff fonts so that everything will work again. [Regression Potential] It is a small and simple patch to make Ghostscript ignore incompatible fonts. Every non-.woff font will work as before and the ,woff fonts get ignored but also are not needed by Ghostscript.
