You do not understand the problem. The "ghostscript/conf.d/*map.zh_*" files are
a set of distribution-specific/value-added config files which tell ghostscript
what default CJK fonts to use when pdf files containing CJK text but without
embedded font is encountered. 

On older fedora systems, the config files tell ghostscript to use uming.ttf and
ukai.ttf, because those are the fonts *available on the system*. Since upstream
has migrated to ttc, and fedora now follow upstream to ship uming.ttc/ukai.ttc
instead of uming.ttf/ukai.ttf, the config files now tell ghostscript to use
font files which no longer exist.

The problem is very well-understood and the solution well-characterised: the
content of /usr/share/ghostscript/conf.d/*.zh_* should always refer to
available and valid font files on the system. When the font file names have
changed, the config files should be updated to match.
