Description Benjamin Denckla 2006-03-15 12:05:53 UTC

Page 35 of document in URL is the offending page (something to do with its EPS 
diagrams I imagine).  At first I thought the postscript was invalid, but the 
fact that Distiller didn't have a problem made me wonder... of course this 
could just be that Distiller is more tolerant, which is a judgement call as to 
whether that is "right" or "better."

Comment 2 Alex Cherepanov 2006-03-15 12:54:34 UTC

This is a duplicate on the bug 687120.
The sample file includes an EPS file 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 current version of idraw.
(2) Patch the file as described in the bug 687120
(3) Make all FontBBox arrays in GS fonts executable.
