Anything new? The bug report sits here since a month without any reaction... Most output of the lilypond program (series 2.3.x; this is a musical typesetting program) can't be converted due to this bug... Reproduced with CVS HEAD. Created attachment 1004 [details]

A local copy of the test file.
Patch to HEAD : http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2004-October/004984.html Patch to GS_8_1X : http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2004-October/004985.html The /.OrigFont entry in font dictionaries has been renamed to /OrigFont for better Adobe compatibility. This change was made in r7156 of the Ghostscript svn. When I ran a regression test, it failed on the test file attached to this bug. It looks like you're using /.OrigFont only for debug output, but you might want to check to make sure it isn't used in production LilyPond code. If so, it will break with future versions of GS. Fortunately, lilypond no longer uses OrigFont, so no chance is necessary on our side. Thanks for the information. Not chance but change, of course :-) |
