Reply with quote

When trying to print to pdf today from konqueror web browser, I was receiving an error about - Fontmap entry for ends prematurely! Giving up.

Taking a closer look at this, it indicates that the ghostscript Fontmap file is in some way damage, or a font is damaged.

You can get a little more detail about the error by manually starting ghostscript with the -DDEBUG option:

Code:

Fontmap entry for ends prematurely! Giving up.

If you notice, it gives the location of the Fontmap file near the end:
/usr/share/ghostscript/7.07/lib/Fontmap

You can open the above file in a text editor, I used vi:

Code:

^@^@^A^@%!
% See Fontmap.GS for the syntax of real Fontmap files.
(/etc/fonts/Fontmap) .runlibfile
(Fontmap.X11-auto) .runlibfile
(Fontmap.GS) .runlibfile
(Fontmap.kanji) .runlibfile
(Fontmap.rus) .runlibfile
(Fontmap.CID) .runlibfile
(Fontmap.greek) .runlibfile
^@
~

You can manually comment out each line by adding a % to the beginning of it. If you look at the code above, the second line is a comment in the same fashion as using a # in a bash script.

To fix the problem, start by commenting out the first line and restarting ghostscript with the debug option.

Here is the modified file when I commented out the first line:

Code:

%^@^@^A^@%!
% See Fontmap.GS for the syntax of real Fontmap files.
(/etc/fonts/Fontmap) .runlibfile
(Fontmap.X11-auto) .runlibfile
(Fontmap.GS) .runlibfile
(Fontmap.kanji) .runlibfile
(Fontmap.rus) .runlibfile
(Fontmap.CID) .runlibfile
(Fontmap.greek) .runlibfile
^@
~

Then I restart ghostscript with the debug option again:
