There's no quality deterioration but there are a few issues where GS can improve. The old file uses /Courier and it is not embedded. Probably, on some systems standard fonts are rendered in some special way, for instance from a hand-tyned raster font. This may explain why the old file looks better. The new file has /NimbusMonL-Regu as an embedded subset. On Acrobat Reader 5 there's little difference, except that /Nimbusmon-L is a bit darker. However, GS could recognize that the original file is asking for /Courier and use /Courier in the PDF file. Even for the embedded /NimbusMonL-Regu it is better to keep the original name unstead of using some random name the font was renamedin thePS file. This bug is related to the bug 687047 . Actually this one is a duplicate of that. For a while we keep it open just for testing purpose. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 687047 *** Changing customer bugs that have been resolved more than a year ago to closed. |
