GPL Ghostscript  9.00: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

I've tried to put the substitution to /etc/ghostscript/fontmap.d/10gsfonts.conf, /var/lib/ghostscript/fonts/cidfmap, installed gsfonts, gsfonts-other, gsfonts-x11 packages, updated gs from 8.71 to 9.00. Also I've played with command-line params, specifying my own cidfmap file, but still no success.

I have found a couple of similar reports here, but didn't find the answer also.

Your PDF file is req
Comment 2 Ken Sharp 2010-12-07 08:01:16 UTC 
Hmm, sorry for the partial reply.

Your PDF file requests the CIDFont ArialMT (composed with the Identity-H CMap), but Ghostscript does not have a font with that name. GS then falls back to the default CIDFont which is given by composing the Ordering from the FontDescriptor, so it searches for a CIDFont called 'Adobe'.

It doesn't find that either, so it is forced to give up.

You need to add a font definition to cidfmap for ArialMT, the usual invocation would be something like:

/ArialMT << 
/FileType /TrueType
/Path (/...<path>..../arial.ttf)
/CSI [(Artifex) (Unicode) 0]
>> ;

If I edit /gs/Resource/Init/cidfmap on my system,and supply the relevant directory as a command line switch:

./gs -I/gs/Resource/Init

then your file works for me. Without that I get the same error message. 

Note that GS is generally compiled with its resources built into the executable. so modifying files on disk does not have any effect, unless you also direct GS to use those files by specifying them using -I

Thank you!

The -I switch was the option I missed
