This message is actually from ImageMagick, not RMagick. When you run
ImageMagick's configuration script, use the --with-gs-font-dir option:

/configure --with-gs-font-dir=/usr/share/type1/gsfonts ...other options...

See http://rmagick.ruby...install-... and
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/advanced-unix-instal... for
more information, and drop me a line at rmagick at rubyforge dot org if
you need help.

Good luck!
