Description Werner Lemberg 2004-08-11 15:51:16 UTC 
The small file at the above URL shows that the mirrored right hand glyph
is positioned incorrectly.  This fails with both 8.14 and 8.30.
Consequently, ps2pdf positions it wrong also.

Note that 6.51 renders the example correctly.

Reproduced with CVS HEAD.

A local copy of the test file.
Comment 3 Igor Melichev 2004-10-27 08:58:18 UTC 
Adobe CPSI rasterizes this document differently than GS and differently then 
AdobeDistiller+ASdobeReader. IMO the CPSI raster is correct. Will attach a 
simplified test and its raster from CPSI.

A raster of gsbug-1.ps made with CPSI.
Comment 6 Igor Melichev 2004-10-27 09:12:33 UTC 
The "hand" glyph has Metrics [sbx, wx]=[-904, -939] and the native sbx = 35. I 
believe that CPSI renders it correctly : mirrorred and then shifted forth in 
904 design units. Since 904 = 935-35, both occurances must have same projection 
to the X axis, and we do observe so with CPSI. Others render it wrongly : 
Distiller misses sbx, and pdfwrite applies sbx with a wrong sign (i.e. in the 
opposite direction).
