Comment (by andrewhw@…):

 I'm not so sure that this is a duplicate of the issue in #41895 -- that
 ticket deals with a missing letter within a loaded font; this one has to
 do with a complete failure to load any font whatsoever.

 One important item related to the discussion in #41895 is the idea of
 falling back to a default font set.  Times (as well as Helvetica and I
 believe the Dingbats) are meant to be the defined "always there" fonts to
 which a font search can fall back.  The issue I noted here is the failure
 to find Times -- so therefore there is nowhere to go in the fallback
 sequence.

 I will however note that gv version 3.7.4 (the version of gv currently
 installed by port version 2.3.3), this issue is resolved.  As far as I am
 concerned, therefore, this ticket can be closed.
