Andreas, cc ports,
Bug report for current ports/print/ghostscript4:

Fonts are installed in /usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts -rw------- 

Thus if you install 'em you can get 'em, but if you invoke ghostview
from a web browser, the font access fails.

Makefile has:
	GS_FONTS_STD=   ghostscript-fonts-std-4.01.tar.gz
	pre-install:
		(cd ${PREFIX}/share/ghostscript ; \
		tar -xzf ${DISTDIR}/${GS_FONTS_STD})

I only have ghostscript-fonts-std-4.0.tar.gz & its -rw------- in there,
I'll fetch 4.0.1 next, but its big ...

PS WIBNI: ideally for those of us with slow net access,
ports/ stuff should use for instance 4.0 & then 4.0 + 4.0-4.1.diff,
to reduce upgrade fetch traffic,
but I don't know in the specific case of ghostscript
if a diff was available (after all I'm not maintainer :-)
However if ports maintainers could use diffs where available,
rather than pointing at new mega dists, it could help,
(no complaint, just a WIBNI (Wouldn't It Be Nice If ...) :-)

Julian
