Fail how? They work for me, with ghostscript @9.05_0 or @9.05_1.

ImageMagick declares a dependency on ghostscript so it's expected that it'll use ghostscript for something. GraphicsMagick does not declare a dependency on ghostscript, so if it's using ghostscript for anything, that's a bug.


Note there are other missing-character bug reports, about gv and evince:

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/33830

So this could be a freetype bug.
