Looks like that's the problem. I upgraded ghostscript and it didn't install
dependencies?

Title:
Error: /typecheck in /findfont
Status in “ghostscript” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “ghostscript” source package in Trusty:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
When searching for fonts ghostscript issues the error "Error:
/typecheck in /findfont:" and aborts.
This appears to be a bug in ghostscript having to do with .woff files.
http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=695031
I applied the patch given above and it fixed the problem.
[Impact]
Ghostscript gets unusable when fonts which are incompatible with
Ghostscript are installed. This makes printing not working for nearly
all printers and displaying PostScript files gets impossible.
[Test Case]
Install a package with .woff fonts:
sudo apt-get install fonts-font-awesome
Then try to print or display PostScript files, or call Ghostscript
directly:
gs file.pdf
Current Ghostscript will error and your printing or file display will
not work. The proposed patch will make Ghostscript immune against the
.woff fonts so that everything will work again.
[Regression Potential]
It is a small and simple patch to make Ghostscript ignore incompatible
fonts. Every non-.woff font will work as before and the ,woff fonts
get ignored but also are not needed by Ghostscript.
