The patch is slightly badly formated, but it works correctly. I just rebuilt ghostscript (and tetex) and now have perfect xdvi viewing (and pdflatex compiling). Pls contact me for test cases if needed. Fixed (patch applied) in ghostscript-5.50-10. Thanks for the patch (and offer of test cases). |
Quoting the xdvi FAQ (found in the tetex and xdvik distributions). Component above entered as tetex because the bug is evident under xdvi, though it is a bug in ghostscript. Nicolai the xdvik maintainer 7. I am using gs 5.50 to render PostScript figures, and I find that sometimes characters appear on the wrong page. Why is that? This is a bug in ghostscript 5.50. The following patch will fix it: *** gdevx.c.orig Fri Jul 17 07:31:27 1998 --- gdevx.c Sat Oct 17 23:42:50 1998 *************** *** 59,65 **** ((gx_device_X *)(dev))->up_area = 0,\ ((gx_device_X *)(dev))->up_count = 0 #define update_flush(dev)\ ! if ( ((gx_device_X *)(dev))->up_area != 0 ) update_do_flush(dev) private void update_do_flush(P1(gx_device *)); #define flush_text(dev)\ --- 59,66 ---- ((gx_device_X *)(dev))->up_area = 0,\ ((gx_device_X *)(dev))->up_count = 0 #define update_flush(dev)\ ! if ( ((gx_device_X *)(dev))->up_area != 0 || IN_TEXT((gx_device_X *)(dev)) ) \ ! update_do_flush(dev) private void update_do_flush(P1(gx_device *)); #define flush_text(dev)\
