Many PDF documents still throw a number of errors such as this:
  GPL Ghostscript 9.06: Error: Font Renderer Plugin ( FreeType ) return code =
-1
when previewing or saving to a (PDF/PS) file.

The console output is:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open the attached file (embedding a Type1 font) with Okular and preview it.



Using Kubuntu 12.10 with: okular: 0.15.2, ghostscript: 9.06, libfreetype6:
2.4.10 and libspectre 0.2.7

The Freetype patch:
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=35833 /
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freetype/freetype2.git/commit/?id=9a55cb7a
and the followup:
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=35847 /
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freetype/freetype2.git/commit/?id=b43e0f44
should have fixed the Font Renderer Plugin issue in 2.4.10, but obviously it
didn't.
Does someone know whether libspectre comes bundled with an old version of
freetype? Then I'd know whether to file this against freetype or libspectre.
