Bug#661764: dangling symlink /usr/share/ghostscript/9.05/Resource/CIDFSubst/DroidSansFallback.ttf

[Ian Zimmerman <itz@buug.org>]

Just BTW, installing fonts-droid doesn't do away with the broken
symlink:

 [9+0]~# dpkg --status fonts-droid
Package: fonts-droid
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: fonts
Installed-Size: 8893
Maintainer: Debian Fonts Task Force <pkg-fonts-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>
Architecture: all
Version: 20111207+git-1
 ... elided ...
 [10+0]~# dpkg -S /usr/share/ghostscript/9.05/Resource/CIDFSubst/DroidSansFallback.ttf
libgs9-common: /usr/share/ghostscript/9.05/Resource/CIDFSubst/DroidSansFallback.ttf
 [11+0]~# file /usr/share/ghostscript/9.05/Resource/CIDFSubst/DroidSansFallback.ttf
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.05/Resource/CIDFSubst/DroidSansFallback.ttf: broken symbolic link to `../../../../fonts/truetype/droid/DroidSansFallback.ttf'

Perhaps that is the reason why the font substitution doesn't work?

Also, in the target directory of the symlink there is a file with a
similar (but not quite the same) name:

 [13+0]~# ls /usr/share/fonts/truetype/droid/*Fallback*
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/droid/DroidSansFallbackFull.ttf

WTH is really going on here?
