I am using image Magic to convert pdf into jpg. I am using Times New roman TrueType font and used word document and saved as PDF to generate pdf files.
While i am converting this file into jpg italic text is converted into normal text and i received the error
Times New Roman TrueType
Times New Roman, Italic TrueType
Can't find font file /usr/share/ghostscript/8.70/Resource/Font/NimbusRomanNo9L-Regu
Substituting font times-roman for Times New Roman, Italic.
Please advise on this issue , how we can resolve it.
Thanks,
ravinder

It says it can't find a font file. Installing that font might cure the problem. See Wikipedia:

we already NimbusRomanNo9L-Regu Type 1 font installed on machine. it seems GS is looking the TrueType NimbusRomanNo9L-Regu. should installing NimbusRomanNo9L-Regu Truetype will resolve the issue?

I don't know, but it's an obvious thing to try.
You mention "8.70" in the Ghostscipt path. If that is the version number, you might also try an upgrade as 8.70 is quite old now.

if i execute the command at my server gs -sDEVICE=jpeg -o test_new.jpg -dJPEGQ=95 -r600x600 -g4960x7016 test.pdf it looks for NimbusRomanNo9L-Regu at /usr/share/ghostscript/8.70/Resource/Font/NimbusRomanNo9L-Regu but when i visited /usr/share/ghostscript/8.70/Resource location i have not found Font folder.
I am new in image magic , can you please suggest on it. do we need to install font separately for GS.

I suggest you upgrade Ghostscript. If your IM is before version 6.9.0, I suggest you also upgrade that.
