No guarantees of that, unless *we* built it, which clearly we didn't. The 
current version is 9.18, you should really use that. Build it from source 
if necessary.

The standard cidfmap defines *nothing*, so you don't have a standard build.

I suggest you take this up with the packager, they have clearly modified 
the cidfmap file, and arguably done so incorrectly, since it has left 
Ghostscript referencing fonts which don't apparently exist.

You might also suggest they upgrade to a more recent version at the same time.
