Thank you.
Installing these two packages has done the trick, at least for the several files that previously generated warning messages.

Installing 'xorg-x11-fonts-dpi75' and/or 'xorg-x11-fonts-dpi100' will
probably resolve these warnings.
It's unclear to me if gv needs a dependency on more font packages or
not, since the PS could be using any fonts?
