Package: gnome-u2ps
Version: 0.0.4-4
Severity: normal
Hi,
Today I decided to give gnome-u2ps a try, since I need to create PDFs
from unicode plain-text files.
The problem is that u2ps, if fed on standard input, cuts the first three
bytes of the file. The reason for this is that it tries to detect if the
input is compressed, reading three bytes, and later tries to seek to the
beginning of the file. However, fseek() fails, since the file is a pipe.
To reproduce, execute the following code:
$ echo "123456" | u2ps -o /dev/stdout | gnome-gv -
The displayed content is "456", instead of "123456".
Thanks for considering,
dam
