Created attachment 1359135 [details]
EPS file which mentions Helvetica-Narrow-BoldOblique, and which fails to display with gs 9.22

Description of problem:
Font configuration of ghostscript in Resource/Init/Fontmap.GS refers to
NimbusSansNarrow-BdOblique (as an alias for Helvetica-Narrow-BoldOblique),
which cannot be found:

Running gs c1.eps (on the attachment) produces

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ghostscript-9.22-1.fc27.x86_64
urw-base35-fonts-20170801-2.fc27.noarch



How reproducible:
Always reproducible.  Attached EPS file is a minimum reproducer.


Steps to Reproduce:
Create EPS file which mentions font Helvetica-Narrow-BoldOblique (note that the
font needs not be used in the actual plot; the bug appears when the font is
mentioned in the Preamble).
Run gs, gv, or any other viewer/program which relies on ghostscript to display or otherwise show EPS files

Actual results:
Error, see above

Expected results:
EPS file is shown on display.

Additional info:
The following patch fixes the problem:
$ diff -u /usr/share/ghostscript/9.22/Resource/Init/Fontmap.GS.old /usr/share/ghostscript/9.22/Resource/Init/Fontmap.GS

(It's the font name, not the file name, which seems to be relevant in Fontmap.GS).

I have informed upstream about this (created a new BZ for it). I hope to speak with them about this tomorrow. If they accept the patch, I can roll it out by tomorrow or Wednesday. :)

Thanks for the report! ;)
