I have the same problem before, here is how I fix it:

Just REM out the GS_FONTPATH entry in your config.sys as follow.

REM ===========================================================================
REM ;; For `Ghostscript'
REM

SET GS_LIB=.;I:\GS3.53;E:\PSFONTS;I:\GS3.53\FONTS
REM Note: Don't set `GS_FONTPATH' for fonts defined in Fontmap.
REM SET GS_FONTPATH=E:\PSFONTS;I:\GS3.53\FONTS

REM
