hhmmmm, actually it seems to also depend on which version of latex the original file was compiled on. However, the file I will attach will look fine in ps but render to pdf wrongly. Created attachment 94174 [details]
test.ps output from oowriter
copy of my current resume generated from oowriter in .ps format, that works
fine in ggv, but when run through ps2pdf* the right hand margin disappears, and
the text runs flush with the RHS of the page (as previewed in ggv)
ok - solved. use ps2pdf14 Paul |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020920 Netscape/7.0 Description of problem: ps2pdf generates funny output on some sequences of test input. I have noticedr: test in the ps file: "figures" renders in the pdf file as: "fi gures" Also, dots above equations in (from math mode latex) do not properly align over the char they are supposed to be over, buf offset to the left. I will attach a postsctipt file which suffers these problems. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ghostscript-7.05-32 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.take the attched ps file 2.check it's ok in gv 3.run ps2pdf 4. compare the pdf with the ps 5. note the differences! Additional info: I have not found a work around for this bug, and it is stopping me from upgrading my current old desktop linux install to a shiney new redhat 9 one!
