The Windows version of Ghostscript uses a ROM file system by default. 
You need to get a copy of the source code, add the files to the relevant 
sub-directories of ghostpdl/Resource and then either :

1) rebuild Ghostscript so that the ROM file system contains the new 
files. You could also rebuild Ghostscript so that it doesn't use the ROM 
file system and then use option 2 below, but there's no great advantage 
to that.

Or

2) Use the existing binary but tell Ghostscript to include an external 
path in its search for resources, using the -I switch to add your 
modified directory tree to the search.
