[bug #62860] [gropdf] trying to access URW fonts from wrong directory

[John Gardner]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #62860 (project groff):

Neither the presence nor absence of `--with-urw-fonts-dir` had any bearing on
the build. I've nonetheless uploaded logs from both build attempts:

* Without option:
https://gist.github.com/Alhadis/67fccae66e5e636e71fe68ee6991a2d6

* With `--with-urw-fonts-dir`:

Homebrew's updated its Ghostscript formula since I filed this issue, so its
version string no longer includes a version bump (i.e., "10.00.0_1" bumped
from "10.00.0"). I had to tamper with the Homebrew's package description to
force it to install to a path containing the problematic version-string.
Logically, this has no bearing on what version GhostScript thinks it is: it's
purely an administrative detail on Homebrew's part.


$ gs --version
10.00.0
$ realpath `which gs`
/usr/local/Cellar/ghostscript/10.0.0_1/bin/gs


Also, I'm not sure if this is relevant, but I noticed Homebrew is installing
GhostScript fonts from an external source
<https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/9433b9d9b44e840179e0366f2ca09d4eb64a96ca/Formula/ghostscript.rb#L51-L55>;
specifically, one with a hardcoded URL:


  # https://sourceforge.net/projects/gs-fonts/
  resource "fonts" do
    url
"https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/gs-fonts/gs-fonts/8.11%20%28base%2035%2C%20GPL%29/ghostscript-fonts-std-8.11.tar.gz";
    sha256 "0eb6f356119f2e49b2563210852e17f57f9dcc5755f350a69a46a0d641a0c401"
  end
