The postscript file that generated the problem pdf
I think this is a font file metics issue, actually, but I also see this often with 'typewriter' stype fonts sets inside PDF's What version of urw-fonts do you have installed? I keep my system up to date fairly regularly. I don't know whether my URW fonts have been updated since then or not. -=- incidentally, I had gotten bad information from a website that stated I needed to use the pslatex package in my LaTeX docunents to use the pslatex terminal type in gnuplot, and that's not the case - name is the same, but pslatex is font package in LaTeX - and since I stopped using it, the problem has not happened once. It's still a bug since encoding with distiller matches the ps output in the example I posted, but it isn't one that is biting me anymore. This seems to be fixed in ESP Ghostscript 8.15rc4 (ghostscript-8.15-0.rc4.3) in rawhide. Thanks for the report. |
