On the French list, Martial Rameaux reported that this snippet no
longer worked:

I can reproduce on my systems with all binaries created with the new
systems (including those of 2.23.6 and the experimental ones of 2.23.5),
but it works with those from GUB. On the other hand, it also
works with my local build. Below is the log with the local build:

The GS version is not the problem, as it is the same between these
two cases.

Relatedly, another user reported that system fonts didn't load anymore
(but didn't provide details yet).
