[Bug 1140865] New: can't find Roman font in urw-fonts-1.10-1.fc22

Bug ID: 1140865
           Summary: can't find Roman font in urw-fonts-1.10-1.fc22
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
         Component: urw-fonts
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
        QA Contact: [e-mail]
                CC: [e-mail], [e-mail]

I am trying to build xen on rawhide, but when it tries to run fig2dev it fails
and the build aborts. The relevant lines in the log are

/usr/bin/fig2dev -L png network-bridge.fig >network-bridge.png.tmp
GPL Ghostscript 9.14: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
Error in ghostcript command
command was: gs -q -dSAFER -sDEVICE=png16m -r80 -g710x553 -sOutputFile=- -

fig2dev defaults to Roman, and the command works with the urw-fonts-2.4-19.fc21
but not with urw-fonts-1.10-1.fc22 and I think it is because it can't find the
Roman font.

I have investigated this further, and the issue is between ghostscript and
urw-fonts. Ghostscript has the file
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.14/Resource/Init/Fontmap.GS which translates well
known font names (Times-Roman, Helvetica etc.) into the OS font name.
Unfortunately urw-fonts has changed the name of many of these fonts so
ghostscript translates such fonts into names that no longer exist.

Is any fix for this on the horizon?  I'm now hitting this problem when trying
to build a new version of the remake package:

Not sure about your case or how fedora package ghostscript. However ghostscript
 comes with a set of equivalent pfb files in Resource/Font with their names
changed to the old ones (e.g. Nimbus Roman No9 L).

Btw the maintainer seems to have plan to modify ghostscript to adapt to the new
names in the future (For easier management I suppose, and Nimbus Sans Narrow is
FINALLY a font family now).

Same question as comment 1: what is the ETA for a fix for this?  If help is
needed, what can I do to help?

I'm thinking about changing font's name to old name as before. It would fix the
issue.

I'll say having this optimization held back until ghostscript adapt to the new
font release is a better choice:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/ghostscript.git/tree/ghostscript.spec#n24...

If someone want to help, probably they should talk to upstream to see if what
changes need to be made for the adaptation (other than Fontmap.GS, if any)

Same question as comment 4: when can we expect a fix for this?  Multiple
packages cannot be built in Rawhide due to this bug.  When will they be
buildable again?  Today?  In a week?  In a month?  In two months?
