Description Jan "Yenya" Kasprzak 2011-02-03 14:24:49 UTC

Sample PDF document

Description of problem:
On a rawhide system with gs-9.x, gv displays some PDF files with extremely small letters. Downgrading to gs-8.71 from Fedora 14 fixes the problem. I will attach a sample PDF file. Evince displays it correctly, as well as rawhide with gs-8. The file has been created from the following TeX source using xelatex:

=========================
\usepackage{fontspec} 
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{DejaVu Serif}
\setmonofont[Mapping=tex-text]{DejaVu Sans Mono}

\begin{document}

Just a test text.

{\tt Typewriter font.}

\end{document}
=======================

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ghostscript-9.00-12.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
100 %

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install gv ghostscript (on a rawhide system)
2. gv test.pdf
3. evince test.pdf
  
Actual results:
Gv displays the file with extremely small letters.

Expected results:
Gv should display the file the same way as evince does.

Additional info:
Downgrading to ghostscript-8.71-16.fc14.x86_64 fixes the problem.

Please try ghostscript-9.00-13.fc15 which contains a fix for a bug that may well cause this symptom.

Comment 2 Jan "Yenya" Kasprzak 2011-02-03 15:23:09 UTC
I have verified that with ghostscript-9.00-13.fc15.x86_64 from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=216629 the problem still persists.

Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2011-08-11 16:18:03 UTC
This seems to be fixed in ghostscript-9.02-1.fc15.

Comment 4 Jan "Yenya" Kasprzak 2011-08-11 16:26:48 UTC
Yes, ghostscript-9.02-1.fc15 works for me. Thanks!
