Where gs tries to find fonts is mostly a compile time setting.
Call gs -h from the command line, it will tell you where it
looks for fonts.
It will also tell you the directory where the startup files
and gs-specific libraries reside. The Fontmap file is usually
loacated there as well.

And, gifing a colon separated list or directories in the
environt variable GS_FONTPATH, gs will search for fonts
in the directories listed there whenever it starts up.
