gsfonts upgrade issue

Hi,

I've recently upgraded to gsfonts-20130917-1 and it did not install correctly.
All the necessary fonts are located inside: /usr/share/fonts/Type1/

After upgrade all fonts started looking very bad so I've uninstalled gsfonts package from the system.
After uninstalling gsfonts nothing has changed. So from this I conclude that gsfonts were not displayed at all.

When I downgraded to previous gsfonts-1.0.7pre44-4 everything looked correct (nice fonts).
I started digging and my bet is that the font cache has not been regenerated.
While upgrading to gsfonts-20130917-1 I cannot see the last line in a log:
Updating font cache... done

I can see it while installing the gsfonts-1.0.7pre44-4.
Furthermore I cannot see the following line in a pacman.log while installing the gsfonts-20130917-1:
[ALPM-SCRIPTLET] Updating font cache... done.

Furthermore when after upgrade to gsfonts-20130917-1 the following files are empty:
/usr/share/fonts/Type1/fonts.scale
/usr/share/fonts/Type1/fonts.dir

thanks for help
