[bug #63808] configure gives incorrect information regarding pdf generation

[Deri James]

Follow-up Comment #26, bug #63808 (project groff):

These changes don't appear in master when I do a git pull so I can't do any
investigations. Also, because you do make check rather than make -j; make
check if there is a failure in the build phase we don't get to see the result
of the tests.

For 01 (gs only) check-default-foundry failed and gropdf was in restricted
mode.The reason is very strange! In the make I see lines such as:-

BuildFoundries: warning: line 33: groff font 'AB' will not be available for
PDF output; unable to locate font file(s): URWGothic-Demi.t1, URWGothi-Demi,
URWGothicL-Demi, a010015l.pfb
BuildFoundries: warning: line 34: groff font 'ABI' will not be available for
PDF output; unable to locate font file(s): URWGothic-DemiOblique.t1,
RWGothic-DemiOblique, URWGothicL-DemiObli, a010035l.pfb
BuildFoundries: warning: line 35: groff font 'AI' will not be available for
PDF output; unable to locate font file(s): URWGothic-BookOblique.t1,
UWGothic-BookOblique, URWGothicL-BookObli, a010033l.pfb
BuildFoundries: warning: line 36: groff font 'AR' will not be available for
PDF output; unable to locate font file(s): URWGothic-Book.t1, URWGothi-Book,
URWGothicL-Book, a010013l.pfb

The equivalent entry in the Foundry.in file from which the filenames come
is:-

AB|N||||URWGothic-Demi.t1!URWGothic-Demi!URWGothicL-Demi!a010015l.pfb
ABI|N||||URWGothic-DemiOblique.t1!URWGothic-DemiOblique!URWGothicL-DemiObli!a010035l.pfb
AI|N||||URWGothic-BookOblique.t1!URWGothic-BookOblique!URWGothicL-BookObli!a010033l.pfb
AR|N||||URWGothic-Book.t1!URWGothic-Book!URWGothicL-Book!a010013l.pfb

If you compare the list of names you will see a character is missing in the
second name in the list, i.e. for AB it should be looking for the name
"URWGothic-Demi" (second name in the Foundry.in file entry for AB) but it
reports it is looking for "URWGothi-Demi". This happens for every line, it is
the 147th character of each line which has been chopped!

The first thing I would look at is whether there is anything odd about your
Foundry.in, whether it has the missing characters.

Scrub all that, I've just realised the whole log file you uploaded has the
147th character missing on every line,  and its not even April 1st! So we next
wonder whether ghostscript have changed fontnames again, so please locate
where the ghostscript fonts are located (somewhere on the paths given by gs
-h) and post an "ls -l".

To do further investigations I think I need the changes you seem to have only
done to your local git.
