Ghostscript doesn't work well on Hardy (8.04).

Hi all,

The problem is that the installation seems fine but when i
tried to use ps2pdf tool to convert ps file to a pdf file, it failed reporting:

Error: /invalidfont in /findfont

It happened to all the ps file, so it's definitely not the source file problem. Actually gphostscript on Fedora Core 8 works as a charm.

Does anybody succeed in using this ghostscript in Ubuntu Hardy?
I'm afraid it is an unbelievable bug in Ubuntu?
