Description Tim Taiwanese Liim 2008-09-11 03:07:32 UTC
Description of problem:
    gs misses some parts when rendering a certain file.
    I'll attach 3 files:
        1. what it should look like, as rendered by gimp.
        2. what gs rendered
        3. the ps file

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
    ghostscript-8.63-1.fc9.i386

How reproducible:
    always.

Steps to Reproduce:
    1. gs 080910.gs.miss.rendering.ps
  
Actual results:
    - gs did not render the top portion (chapter title).

Expected results:
    - gs should render the page with top portion (chapter title).

Additional info:
    - evince and gimp are able to render the attach ps
      file properly.
    - also gs is able to render the attach ps file properly with
      certain args, because I printed to an HP printer with gs
      and the page on paper has the right image.

Works fine with the x11 device, just not with x11alpha.

Comment 5 Tim Taiwanese Liim 2008-09-11 15:56:39 UTC
How do I use x11 instead of x11slpha?  Please advise.  Thanks for fast response.

Comment 6 Tim Waugh 2008-09-11 16:10:29 UTC
gs -sDEVICE=x11 ...

This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Close this bug as this is not really important issue (no other ps
files gave me this trouble), even though I still got this error in
ghostscript-8.63-6.fc10.x86_64:
