I received details to the last bug report by mail. Who can reproduce the bug? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 15 May 2006 13:47:09 -0700 From: Jonathan Ryshpan <address@hidden> To: Markus Steinborn <address@hidden> Subject: Re: [bug-gv] mpage vs. gs vs. gv [ & ggv & kghostview ] On Mon, 2006-05-15 at 19:43 +0200, Markus Steinborn wrote: > On Thu, 11 May 2006, Jonathan Ryshpan wrote: > > Thanks for your bug report. > > > mpage generates files that gv won't display, but gs will.

(I assume it is quite short, > isn't it?). Finally, what version of gv have you tried? Thanks for your reply. Here's the info you requested: $ mpage -V mpage version 2.5.4 May 2004 I am attaching various files giving some more information about the situation: mpage-rpm: rpm -qil mpage > mpage-rpm (I am running Fedora Core 5) foo.ps: cat /dev/null | mpage > foo.ps gs.log: gs -sDEVICE=x11 foo.ps >& gs.log gv.log: the error box that gv displays when applied to foo.ps with standard default options gv-noplatfonts: the same, except that the argument -dNOPLATFONTS has been removed from the arguments in State->Ghostscript Options The problem seems to come from these lines in foo.ps, which are explicitly included from the source mpage.c : /kanj /Ryumin-Light-H findfont 11 scalefont def /han /Ryumin-Light.Hankaku findfont 11 scalefont def /unijis /Ryumin-Light-UniJIS-UTF8-H findfont 11 scalefont def /uniks /Baekmuk-Batang-UniKS-UTF8-H findfont 11 scalefont def /unigb /BousungEG-Light-GB-UniGB-UTF8-H findfont 11 scalefont def /unicns /ShanHeiSun-Light-UniCNS-UTF8-H findfont 11 scalefont def Some of these fonts are not included on my system. I could, of course get a cure from the problem by recompiling mpage without these lines of the source, but I would rather know what is going on. Jonathan Rysnpan <address@hidden>
