Description Marcos H. Woehrmann 2010-01-29 13:04:32 UTC 
The customer reports and I've verified that when rendered with GhostPDL the reversed text "Titular" is not 
visible in the attached file.  GhostPDL 8.70 and head (r10663) behave in the same way.  When the file is 
sent to an HP LaserJet the text is rendered correctly.

The command line I'm using for testing:

pcl6-sDEVICE=pbmraw -sOutputFile=test.pbm -dNOPAUSE \
  -dFirstPage=2 -PPCL5C ./70375.100.838.original_pcl_file.pcl

Yes it looks like hpgl/2 source transparency is not working in this case.  I am
looking at it now.

pglabel.c

We are in code freeze now but a fix for this is development code.  You should
be able to simply replace the version of the function pglabel.c:hpgl_use_show()
with the attached version if you are in a rush to get a fix to a customer.

We do have a question: is it ok to default on PCL5C rather then PCL5E? 
Currently we are using the PCL5E path as the default one. Are there any risks 
if we are going to change this? Should we do regression testing? We need to be 
sure that everything that worked using PCL5E path should continue to work using 
PCL5C. 

Please advice.

Thanks

Changing customer bugs that have been resolved more than a year ago to closed.
