Package: ghostscript Version: 9.05~dfsg-8 Severity: normal ps2pdf should not change the embedded fonts except by optimizing them (e.g. compressing them), but a simple test shows that it changes the way fonts are rendered. I've attached 3 files.
font1.pdf is the original file (generated by pdflatex). font2.pdf is the file obtained with "ps2pdf font1.pdf font2.pdf". font.png shows the text of font1.pdf (left) and font2.pdf (right), as obtained with xpdf. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.11-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages ghostscript depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.52 ii gsfonts 1:8.11+urwcyr1.0.7~pre44-4.2 ii libc6 2.17-97 ii libgs9 9.05~dfsg-8 ghostscript recommends no packages.
