Description:
Some files are not properly rendered with the shipped ghostscript. I attach a test files where some symbols are missing. I have a file that get completely screwed up but unfortunately I can't attach it (it's a train ticket).

A vanilla build of ghostscript have none of these problems. By vanilla build, I have commented out all the "rm" I have seen in the PKGBUILD.


Additional info:
* package version(s)

9.22-4

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

Sad that we can't use the OTF gsfonts.

There are still problems with some files. In order to have it work properly; I needed to keep the original fonts shipped with ghostscript AND to remove the line:

# force it to use system-libs
rm -r ...

A complete vanilla build with the original fonts and the provided libs works perfectly though. An alteration of one of these things leads to problems with some files.

The test following test file is a used train ticket:

Due to the nature of the file; I am reluctant to post it permanently on the Archlinux bug reporting platform.

Actually, seems edited comments are kept in history in both versions, whoops. You can delete the file now, thanks.
