gs not starting "CRIT: rangecheck in get" some TTF file
 
Hey,
I googled but couldn't find an answer to this. There is a lq thread , but in that the poster's solution was to delete the fonts, which I don't want to do. Is there a better solution ?

The problem:

bash-3.1$ gs
ESP Ghostscript 815.04 (2007-03-14)
Copyright (C) 2004 artofcode LLC, Benicia, CA. All rights reserved.
This software comes with NO WARRANTY: see the file PUBLIC for details.
CRIT: rangecheck in get
Operand stack:
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/marlett.ttf 0


I had copied a lot of ttf files to my /usr/share/fonts/TTF/ directory. Thats when gs stopped working. I thought maybe moving the new fonts from /usr/share/fonts/TTF to ~/.fonts/ might help. But it didn't work either. gs still hangs even though there is marlett.ttf in the path mentioned.

I have run fc-cache twice or thrice as root as well as normal user. gs doesn't work (as root or as normal user).


gs -? gives ..

i had exactly the same with that marlett font.

i have deleted it. So yeah, basicly that was my solution which you didn't wanna hear ;)

But well, it's just one font. if your life depends on it, you might wanna investigate more. But i think it's not worth the effort. Just my opinion though.

Though, if you find the solution yourself, or someone else it would be nice to share.

I tried that ... It still hangs ... I don't have a problem with the marlett font ... the other post says to delete *.ttf from the directory , thats what I don't want to do ..
I mean :
Quote:
CRIT: rangecheck in get
Operand stack:
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/marlett.ttf 0
bash-3.1# ls /usr/share/fonts/TTF/ | grep marlett
bash-3.1#
This is waht I don't understand .. it is still hangin on the same damn font ... I ran fc-cache many times ...
