ghostscript-fonts-hiragino cannot convert Japanese fonts

[kazu-yamamoto (Kazu Yamamoto)]

• ghostscript-fonts-hiragino @9.21_0+alias (active)
• MacPorts 2.4.2 on High Sierra

Though ghostscript-fonts-hiragino 9.21 works perfectly on Sierra, it does not convert Japanese fonts in PostScript files to PDF. PDF results in, so called, mojibake.

I have cleanly installed MacPorts then installed ghostscript-fonts-hiragino 9.21 with Hiragino fonts. The files in "/opt/local/share/ghostscript/9.21/Resource/Font/" were certainly created. I have no idea to resolve this issue.

I found the reason why this happens. The current version ghostscript is 9.22 but ghostscript-fonts-hiragino assumes 9.21. I confirmed that just upgrading ghostscript-fonts-hiragino to ghostscript v9.22 works well by copying all files in /opt/local/share/ghostscript/9.21 to /opt/local/share/ghostscript/9.22.

I guess that just s/9.21/9.22/ in Portfile works.

When I make the change and try to build it, I see the following error:

--->  Staging ghostscript-fonts-hiragino into destroot
Error: Failed to destroot ghostscript-fonts-hiragino: Font file "/opt/local/share/fonts/otf/Hiragino/ヒラギノ角ゴ Pro W3.otf" is not found. 
If you have former versions of OS X such as Yosemite, copy the font file from it.

Yes. This is intentional. You need to follow the instruction if you want to install this package. For more informatio, see:

I made a patch to update ghostscript-fonts-hiragino for ghostscript-9.22. I confirmed the patch worked fine on my high sierra system.
