The ImageMagick configure script attempts to determine where the Ghostscript
fonts are located on your system by checking well known locations and running
the gs (or gsc) program itself to report the location.  It updates the path
in the type-ghostscript.xml file with what it discovers.  You can specify
the path with the --with-gs-font-dir configure command line script option.
And of course you can edit type-ghostscript.xml  to specify the location.

Run this command:

   cd ImageMagick-6.*
   ./configure

Now take a look at config/type-ghostscript.xml.  Is the font path set
correctly?
