Comment (by howarth.at.macports@…):
Upstream analyzed the origin of the bug as...
It's a dfont file, which Postscript (and thus Ghostscript) does not
support.
It's possible we could add a non-standard extension to support dfonts, but
a)
this stuff is written in Postscript, and it is not really desirable to
have
platform specific stuff in Postscript, and b) I understood even Apple were
shifting away from using dfont files.
So, for now, it's best just to handle the incompatibility gracefully.
