In the Kdegraphics-3.5.9 chapter, one of the ghostscript interpreters are
marked as runtime dependencies to kghostview. But at least the urw fonts are
also required to make kpdf work (at least on my system). kpdf uses xpdf and
this program uses hard coded font names and directories:
{"Courier", "n022003l.pfb", "cour.ttf"},
{"Courier-Bold", "n022004l.pfb", "courbd.ttf"},
{"Courier-BoldOblique", "n022024l.pfb", "courbi.ttf"},
{"Courier-Oblique", "n022023l.pfb", "couri.ttf"},
{"Helvetica", "n019003l.pfb", "arial.ttf"},
{"Helvetica-Bold", "n019004l.pfb", "arialbd.ttf"},
{"Helvetica-BoldOblique", "n019024l.pfb", "arialbi.ttf"},
{"Helvetica-Oblique", "n019023l.pfb", "ariali.ttf"},
{"Symbol", "s050000l.pfb", NULL},
{"Times-Bold", "n021004l.pfb", "timesbd.ttf"},
{"Times-BoldItalic", "n021024l.pfb", "timesbi.ttf"},
{"Times-Italic", "n021023l.pfb", "timesi.ttf"},
{"Times-Roman", "n021003l.pfb", "times.ttf"},
{"ZapfDingbats", "d050000l.pfb", NULL},
and
"/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts",
"/usr/pkg/share/ghostscript/fonts",
"/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts",
"/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1",
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1",
"/usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript",
"/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts",
"/usr/share/fonts/Type1",
I wasn't successful to display most of my PDF files until I installed the urw
fonts into "/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts" (all PDFs using Helvetica show up
with mostly empty(!) pages). Also a link from my font server's urw directoy
in "/usr/share/ghostscript/" helps to make my PDF files readable again.
Maybe this could help other users what is going on on their system.
