(In reply to Nicolas Mailhot from comment #12)
BTW OTF *is* the OpenType (SFNT) format used to ship CFF outlines
nowadays
so unless upstream did something really weird with its OTF files they
satisfy :
# According to upstream, Ghostscript needs only Type 1 fonts to work
properly.
# It can use TTF or OTF fonts as substitutions as well in case the Type 1
# fonts are missing, but the substitution is not (and can't be)
guaranteed to
# be absolutely flawless, unless the fonts use the CFF outlines:

truetype/
Yeah, I realize that. That's why there's that additional note in specfile, that
even though most of the Ghostscript should work with OTF now, the 'pdfwrite'
device is still not able to do so... :-/
And as I mentioned in my previous comment, the ImageMagick also expects the
Type1 /AFM fonts, and I expect there are some other applications might require
it as well. Here's the list of packages requiring the old 'urw-fonts'
package:
ghostscript-core
grace
GraphicsMagick
graphviz
htmldoc
ipe
libwmf
mscgen
pdf-renderer
pokerth
root-core
synfig
xpdf
ImageMagick
