Who is "we"? :-)
`gnu-gs-fonts-std-6.0.tar.gz' from gnu.org still uses the 8.3 file names
AFAICS.

Here is the relevant part:

The fonts from `gnu-gs-fonts-std-6.0.tar.gz' and
`gnu-gs-fonts-other-6.0.tar.gz' are all right under
/nix/store/b69pcm9dr47b7xgsh17xnqblzby2gbsq-ghostscript-8.64.0/share/ghostscript/fonts/.

Hmm, I'm afraid I don't sufficiently understand the pros and cons of
this option. I suppose 90% of the PostScript files that get interpreted
will actually need some of the URW+ fonts, so maybe it makes sense to
have them bundled with the executable, provided it's noticeably faster
than loading them from the files.
Thanks,
Ludo'.
