My fonts were installed correctly, and other documents were able to access them without trouble. This fact would probably have been obvious to a Ghostscript expert from the output I posted in the original question (I'm guessing the "HYLUQF+" prefix is the smoking gun there), but I don't work with Ghostscript much.

Each letter is far too small, though the spacing is oddly correct. Text is definitely being rendered incorrectly in parts of the document.

Access times and strace show that the Fontmap file is being read, but the font file (comic.ttf) is not being accessed at all. The text comes out very poorly, and some of the smaller font sizes are rendered half the size they should be.

I'm trying to get ghostscript to render a pdf file from a Windows box.
