Hi List, this error has cropped up again for me. I'll summarize briefly:
compiling a document within frescobaldi (3.0.0) and lilypond-2.19.61 fails with gs error 256. However, this only fails on my laptop, not my main machine (which is running the same versions). running the failing gs command on the temp file from a console (ie, copying the failed gs command) results in success. Both laptop and desktop are running the same version of ghostscript. On the laptop, SVG display fails with an error about missing PyQt5 Webkit. Editing the /usr/share/ghostscript/9.20/Resource/Init/Fontmap file to comment out the line about local fontmaps results in successful compilation and display. Some questions: shouldn't a locally installed version of package lilypond not be relying on my system ghostscript, instead using its own? If lilypond is using the system ghostscript, is there a way to get lilypond to ignore that like about Fontmap.local?
