FWIW: the gs fonts provided by debian/ubuntu (and perhaps
other linux distro) are quite different from the original
URW fonts: they have extra characters that are not in the
original fonts (eg cyrillic or vietnamese chars). It's
certainly an improvement, but keeping the fontnames
unchanged seems a bit unfortunate IMO. It might cause
problems similar to this:
