Description Scott Chaffin 2006-01-26 12:33:15 UTC

When displaying a certain file, containing graphics, using GV, I get a "Error:
/rangecheck in --get--ESP Ghostscript 7.07.1: Unrecoverable error, exit" error.

This happens with GS 7.07 under SuSE Linux 9.1 and several versions of GS under
Sun Solaris 9 (SPARC).

I can display the same file using GS 6.53 on SuSE Linux 8.0 or the Windows
version of Ghostscript and GSView.    It also works with the version of gs
included in /usr/sfw in Solaris 9.

I can send the file if you'd like, but do not see a way to attach the file in
this form.

This is a duplicate on the bug 687120.
The sample file has been produced by an old version of idraw
which is not compatible with GS fonts v. 8.11. 

There are several ways to work around the problem.
(1) re-create the EPS files using a recent version of idraw.
(2) Patch the file as described in the bug 687120
(3) Make all FontBBox arrays in GS your fonts executable.
(4) Downgrade to v.6.00 of the fonts.
