retested on kubuntu 6.10 with ghostscript 8.50 and the problem persists... Using Ghostscript (without using Kghostview) the file looks correct with 8.15, 8.50 and 8.54. i used kgostview beacuse my print on paper was wrong. printing is done throught CUPS. as i understend CUPS uses ghostscript for rendering. the problem was consistent in kgost view. i had this problem for a few yers now. (mandriva, suse, k/ubuntu ...) maybe the additional MS fonts are not install in a mener to be usefull to ghostview. where should i look up for info on ghostview and fonts? how did you try to reproduce? (i wod like to test it on may systems to find the problem) thank you for your time. Reproduced the visual appearance of the problem mentioned with "ESP Ghostscript 8.15.2 (2006-04-19)" with both gv and kghostview. FWIW, kghostview runs ghostscript with these options (snooping in /proc, so the args-breaking might be wrong): gs -sDEVICE=x11 -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=2 -dMaxBitmap=10000000 \ -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dSAFER -dPARANOIDSAFER -dDELAYSAFER \ -sInputFile=/home/hin-tak/private-dev/bugs.ghostscript.com/attachment.cgi?id=2557&action=view \ -c "<< /PermitFileReading [ InputFile ] /PermitFileWriting [] /PermitFileControl [] >> setuserparams .locksafe" \ - I know testing with ESP releases and old releases are not right, but I just upgraded to fc6 this morning and had to take AFPL 8.54 off temporarily to avoid conflict during the upgrade. Will retest with AFPL 8.54 later and come back to this. FWIW, (with ESP gs 8.15.2) "gs -sDEVICE=x11 <file>" on its own also show the problem on page two where the screen shoot mentioned was taken, if one look at the captical "M" particularly. Will try with AGPL 8.54 later. On the same system, ESP 8.15.2 (64-bit) shows the problem, and AFPL 8.54 (both 32-bit and 64-bit) does not. Granted my AFPL 8.54 has a few post-release patches, so I suggest the initial poster to upgrade to AFPL or GPL 8.54, and/or to the head. It might be a ESP-release-only bug, so it could be useful if Dan or Igor with stock GPL/AFPL 8.14/8.15 to recheck 8.14/8.15 for middle of page 2, in particular the "M" in "TEME" where the screenshots came from. Initial poster: some of cups's functionality depends on ESP-only modifications, so there is a chance that after upgrade, you fix your viewing problem but you stop being able to print through cups (for some printer models). Ask your distro to help you if that's the case. Resolving it back to "WORKFORME". Sorry for re-opening it yesterday. The attached file works for me with the current subversion snapshot of Ghostscript. So the bug seems to be fixed, at least from version 8.60 on. |
