I'm assuming this is a simple mess upstream on non-consecutive version numbers? The linked sourceforge page still lists 8.11 as the stable version, while the one currently in extra is listed as 'pre' (and doesn't seem available in the sourceforge page?
I guess that maintainer forgotten the force option. svn log message says "Use newer version of the fonts as provided by Fedora's package urw-fonts Fixes FS#10593"
Oops, my fault sorry for that! I indeed forgot to use the "force" option. Will fix that asap. F PS: Yes, the stupid version numbers for those fonts used upstream by the ghostscript project is also part of the mess I was referring to, but far worse it the fact that the fonts have not been released as a standalone tarball for so long. The fonts themselves (outlines and metrics) are of a very high quality, so there is no problem in that respect. It's just that the ghostscript project does not seem to care releasing them. The tarball was generated by Fedora from the ghostscript svn repo. The new version not only fixes the bug mentioned above, but also adds glyphs for Cyrillic.
