You can read the docs that come with gs/gsfonts in
/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts
/usr/local/share/docs/gsfonts

These fonts are REALLY MODIFIED and derived from URW set (in XFree86).

I take my chance on gsfonts thinking that the added Cyrillic glyphs must=20
be of interest for russian users.

But I can go backwards and teach gs where are de XFree86 type1 fonts=20
installed. (Patch at home and tested against gnu and afpl gs).

This must require tweak the font install of gs/gsonts (Not install the=20
type1 fonts in XFree86) and RUN_DEPENDS on=20
x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontScalable.

With a tweak of the fonts.* files on x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontScalable=20
(Seems that java really needs Adobe foundries) and closing the=20
fontconfig PR, we can reach the final goal with=20
x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontScalable.

I can work this other way upon request in 1~2 days depend on free-time.
