After an OS re-initialization / upgrade to Linux Mint 22 using Ubuntu 24 codename noble, GraphicsMagick (gm) could not find fonts in the hard-coded directory
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts
This seems to be related to a hard-coded path in GraphicsMagick. See Debian bug 1019717 which seems to have no ready solution since it is a GraphicsMagick rather than Debian bug.
One answer is to download the Ghostscript fonts and put them in the /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts directory.
