Because I just tried to compile ghostscript-8.62.tar.bz2 directly from the version that was downloaded by the port into distfiles. I only used autogen.sh (with the only options being - --prefix=/usr/local), used gmake, and then executed it from the preinstallation ./bin directory. Result: it displays fine, no error. I think that hrs ought to take a look at his port now, does that sould right? When I'd used the port, at first I'd had no extra options at all, later on for testing, I added the trutype font processing (the 3rd option, I think). So, if you needed it today, that's the fix, DON'T use the port. > $ > >> I'll be investigating it further.
