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.
