Description Jeremy Sanders 2006-06-21 03:03:07 UTC

I have several postscript figures generated by the postscript writer in qt3
which lose their text when converted to pdf using ps2pdf. I have tried various
ps2pdf options to no avail. I will include an example figure here.

Reproduced with HEAD.

Comment 3 Ralph Giles 2006-06-21 08:19:30 UTC

assigning to leonardo as a pdfwrite issue.

Comment 4 leonardo 2006-06-21 22:48:06 UTC

The document prints a text with a composite font with a Type 3 descendent. 
Ghostscript doesn't implement this case. Must provide an interpreter callout in 
process_composite_text.

Just an additional note - if you process the document with the gs epswriter
device first, then convert to a PDF, it works.

It's a dup of 688639 : same problem with a document created with same 3d party 
software.
