It has been fixed, thanks.

I don't think it depends on asymptote, perhaps on the external
renderer. We also get a similar error by typing for example the
following command at the ghostscript prompt:

GS> /Helvetica-Bold findfont 24 scalefont setfont

=>
Loading NimbusSanL-Bold font from
/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/n019004l.pfb... AFPL Ghostscript
8.54: Error: Font Renderer Plugin ( FreeType ) return code = -1
Can't render Font NimbusSanL-Bold with FAPI, will do with native GS renderer.
3578904 1717467 1770000 472540 1 done.
AFPL Ghostscript 8.54: Error: Font Renderer Plugin ( FreeType ) return code = -1
Can't render Font Helvetica-Bold with FAPI, will do with native GS renderer.

Unfortunately, I don't know a solution, sorry.

Thanks, ciao.
