Hi

Fwiw I have had that message with TL2018 for a long time

I mostly use dvipdfmx, but recently I started experimenting
with PsTricks hence latex+dvips+ps2pdf and I systematically
get that.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pst-plot}

\begin{document}

\begin{pspicture}(-3,-7)(3,6)
  \psgrid[subgriddiv=1,gridlabels=0,gridwidth=0.4pt](-3,-5)(3,5)
\end{pspicture}

\thispagestyle{empty}
\end{document}

(using TL 2018 fully updated, binaries self-compiled on Mac OS X 10.9.5)

gives on ps2pdf step

DEBUG: FC_WEIGHT didn't match

Notice that above contains no character glyph in output

$ gs --help

My gs is in /opt/local/bin, it is I think a MacPorts install

$ which gs
/opt/local/bin/gs
$ which ps2pdf
/opt/local/bin/ps2pdf

I have some other problems with this, inclusive of files
which I could compile under xelatex (of TL2018) but not
via latex+dvips+ps2pdf,

Best,

Jean-François
