Description of problem: The current version of "GPL Ghostscript" is 8.15. See, for example, http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1897&package_id=108733 The one in distribution is still ghostscript-7.07 while there were numerous improvents; in particular in fonts handling. Even version 8.01 was released close to nine months ago.
There was a thread on fedora-devel-list discussing this recently. AFAICT nobody's quite sure whether to go with GNU, GPL, or ESP GhostScript...
Recently I have seen quite a few times praised 8.15 which seems to fix a number of issues, in particular with results for display and other related to PDF, which were quite apparent in various earlier releases. I have to admit that I do not have a comparison with variants of other origins. This is coupled with recent advances in urw-fonts and their cyrillic subset in particular but from what I hear not only. http://freshmeat.net/projects/urw-fonts-cyrillic/
There is also a thread on cups.general, starting here: http://www.cups.org/newsgroups.php?s33+gcups.general+Gcups+v36 about cooperatively upgrading ESP Ghostscript to the new major version. If that starts to pick up momentum it might be worth switching over to ESP Ghostscript. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 126326 ***
