Sample PDF

I create PDFs using ZendFrameworks PDF-library. They display fine in Acrobat, Adobe Reader and Preview on OS X but they have a really broken glyph spacing when displayed or converted using ghostscript.

This error does not happen with ghostscript 8.61 but with 8.71 it happens on mac os x (ghostscript build from macports) and on Ubuntu 10.4 (standard package).

How do reproduce (assuming X11-enabled GS):

This bug has been fixed by the activation of FreeType font renderer
in the rev. 11071.

Reverse the previous build options for Freetype integration: now --disable-freetype for configure on Unix type systems or pass
FT_BRIDGE=0 to nmake on Windows if you do not want to integrate Freetype.
