Hello,

I've found the following bugs/issues about the ghostscript and 
fontconfig packages and their cooperation:
- fontconfig segfaults with old fonts in ghostscript (hr*), because they 
are buggy. AFAIK other ghostscript distributions do not contain them for 
the same reason.
- fontconfig's /etc/fonts/local.conf should contain the <dir> tag for 
/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts, to enable fontconfig-aware applications to 
use them. So gs and font-config should play together.

I think these two issues are to be solved by the maintainers of 
fontconfig and ghostscript.

Thank you,

Bert
