Hi, I can't guarantee that you'll get the ñ character that you want,
but I have definitely hit this ghostscript error on Debian a couple of
times so I might be able to help with that.

See debbugs #662892 [1] and #732440 [2] for the two reports I've
filed, both are related to font packages that were breaking
ghostscript for me.

If you are so inclined, you could also help us test the latest 3.8.0
release which is installable from Debian experimental right now.
