Running

I am using Ghostscript 9.04 on Ubuntu Oneiric, 64-bit.

Already the simple command line

gs -sDEVICE=ps2write -sOutputFile=cyrillic.ps cyrillic.pdf

produces the broken PostScript file.

Comment 2 Till Kamppeter 2011-10-21 18:32:38 UTC

Problem only occurs with "ps2write" as output device, not with "pswrite", "pdfwrite", or "png16m".

Comment 3 Ken Sharp 2011-10-22 09:28:05 UTC

I don't see any broken letters. What I do see is that some glyphs are being replaced with the 'C' glpyh, I suspect this is encoded as CID 0 or character code 0 and so is the /.notdef, as a result its used for any glyphs which can't be found.

Since the original font is a TrueType its probably some kind of problem with the prolog and conversion to Type 42.

Bug 692626 is a similar problem, perhaps even the same.
