Several users have noticed that if you use the "compiled fonts"
feature, Ghostscript 2.5 has a circular compilation dependency.
Indeed, I found this bug 2 days after Ghostscript 2.5 was released.
:-(

Ghostscript 2.5.1, which will be a bug-fix release around September
15, will fix this problem.  It will also make compiled fonts fully
location-independent, so they can be made into DLLs or sharable
libraries in the future.
