I've examined a FontMonger .PFB font that Ghostscript will not load
correctly.

The problem is that the font fails to conform to the Adobe
specification for Type 1 fonts in one important detail, namely, that
the string of 0's after the encrypted section is not long enough.  At
least 512 0's are required (Adobe Type 1 Font Format, section 2.3,
page 14).  The font that I received, GaramondLightItalic, only had
about 450 0's.

This is not a bug in Ghostscript; it is a bug in FontMonger.
