Evince doesn't contain ghostscript or gv code, it forks ghostscript to render postscript documents. Just to be sure, I did a [krh@devserv evince-0.6.0]$ find . -name '*.c' |xargs grep ps_get ./dvi/mdvi-lib/fontmap.c:TFMInfo *mdvi_ps_get_metrics(const char *fontname) ./dvi/mdvi-lib/t1.c: info->tfminfo = mdvi_ps_get_metrics(info->fontname); There is no ps_gettext function anywhere in evince. Am I missing something, or is this misfiled? Kristian, if you look at get_next_text(), it clearly has an overflow issue with the text array.
