I indeed forgot to use the force option. Will fix that asap. F PS: Yes, the stupid version numbers for those fonts used upstream by the ghostscript project is also part of the mess I was referring to, but far worse it the fact that the fonts have not been released as a standalone tarball for so long. The fonts themselves (outlines and metrics) are of a very high quality, so there is no problem in that respect. It's just that the ghostscript project does not seem to care releasing them. The tarball was generated by Fedora from the ghostscript svn repo. The new version not only fixes the bug mentioned above, but also adds glyphs for Cyrillic.

Did you try to communicate with upstream ? It is not always bound to failures :) It just takes a few minutes to write a mail. And sometimes there are results !

I assumed the same, though I cannot confirm its true. Important note for people running it to this, because of the version change pacman will dump out on Syu claiming local version is newer - this needs to be installed manually with a standard -S. Just an FYI.

Should this be handled by updating gsfonts (to pkgrel 2 with appropriate force options) or by announcement? Seems the gsfonts package is 'dead' upstream? And we're now taking from Fedora's package? Or development simply moved there?
