Applications aren't generating documents correctly in RHEL 7.7 and RHEL 8

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • After upgrading to RHEL 7.7, our application is generating documents with incorrect layout. The alignment of columns and/or rows is incorrect.
  • Our application worked correctly in RHEL 7, but in RHEL 8, it can't generate documents correctly.
  • We can't find the "Nimbus Sans L" font after upgrading the system to RHEL 7.7
  • RHEL 7.7 with August Patches - Type 1 fonts are missing - /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1
  • We are moving our printing to a new CUPS server that is using RHEL 8. We have some required fonts that are installed with the packages ghostscript-fonts-5.50-13.1.1 and urw-fonts-2.3-6.1.1. These two packages are not available for RHEL 8.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.7 and RHEL 8
  • ghostscript-9.25 (RHEL 7) and 9.27 (RHEL 8)
