New description:

 Since upgrading ghostscript to @9.05_0 certain characters in postscript
 and pdf files are not displayed.  Reverting to @9.04_1 fixes the problem.

 This is on a system running 10.6.8.  Potentially relevant ports installed
 are:
 {{{
 freetype @2.4.9_1+universal
 fontconfig @2.9.0_1+universal
 }}}

 The problem occurs on the attached pdf file (and on other files).  The
 text in the left margin is missing several characters.  I've attached two
 screenshots: the behaviour in 0.94_1.png is the correct behaviour
 displayed by ghostscript @9.04_1, while the behaviour shown in 0.95_0.png
 is what ghostscript @9.05_0 displays.  Other pdf viewers agree with the
 output of @9.04_1.

 The console output of @9.05_0 on this file is:
 {{{
 GPL Ghostscript 9.05 (2012-02-08)
 Copyright (C) 2010 Artifex Software, Inc.  All rights reserved.

 >>showpage, press <return> to continue<<
 }}}

 Whereas in @9.04_1 the output is:
 {{{

 }}}

 The only differences are in the numbers displayed regarding the loaded
 font.  It seems like the font is either corrupt or being loaded
 incorrectly.
