I don’t think Ghostscript uses Fontconfig. When I do “apt showpkg ghostscript” on my Debian system, there is no sign of libfontconfig1 in its dependencies, as is present for example for Inkscape. This page <https://ghostscript.com/doc/current/Fonts.htm> describes how Ghostscript finds its fonts. I can find no mention of Fontconfig there. Instead, you have to manage a “Fontmap” file. Looking at my installed Ghostscript package under Debian, I see a directory called “/etc/ghostscript/fontmap.d/”. I think this is where you place Fontmap-type files. Is there a per-user directory as well? Don’t know ...
