From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.9) Gecko/20061219 Fedora/1.5.0.9-1.fc6 Firefox/1.5.0.9 Description of problem: My users have figures generated by gnuplot that render correctly in some versions of ghostscript (notably ghostscript-7.07-41 from Fedora Core 4) but are slightly off in ghostscript-8.15.3-1.fc6. Attached are 3 files, the original postscript code, a png of the proper rendering from 7.07-41 and a png of the improper rendering from 8.15.3-1.fc6. The proper rendering should show the curve intersecting the two points on the x-axis. The incorrect rendering has the curve just missing the second point. I also tested with ghostscript-8.15.2-8.1 and got different but still incorrect results. Testing with real ghostscript sources, 8.01 worked, 8.10 does not. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ghostscript-8.15.3-1.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.View postscript file in ghostscript-8.15.3-1.fc6 2. 3. Actual Results: Postscript was displayed incorrectly, curve did not intersect points on X-axis Expected Results: The rendered postscript curve should have intersected the 2 points on the X-axis Additional info:

Created attachment 145113 [details] Correct rendering from ghostscript-7.07-41 Note how the curve intersects the 2 points on the X-axis
Created attachment 145114 [details] Incorrect rendering of postscript in ghostscript-8.15.3-1.fc6 Note how the curve does not intersect the second point on the X-axis
