Package: ghostscript, pstoedit
Version: 9.26a~dfsg-0+deb9u6, 3.70-3+b2
Tags: upstream
Control: fixed -1 + 9.50~dfsg-5
Hi. Dear maintainers of ghsotscript and pstoedit,
Debian buster is affected by this bug:
https://sourceforge.net/p/pstoedit/support-requests/4/
I'm afraid I don't understand the details. It appears that DELAYBIND
is now deprecated with upstream. Everything works in bullseye. It is
broken in stretch. Perhaps surprisingly, the pstoedit -nb option does
not help.
I am filing this bug here mostly to help other users of pstoedit on
Debian. #880650 seems related but not identical.
Maybe it would be worth considering a backport of ghostscript 9.50 to
buster ?
Steps to reproduce:
$ cat <<'END' >test.ps
%!
/NimbusMonoPS-Bold findfont
50 scalefont
setfont
100 100 moveto
(C) show
zealot:play> PS1='$ '
END
$ pstoedit -f dump test.ps dump.ou

I'm sorry that no action was taken 3+ years ago. Debian stable now ships
10.0.0 so I will close this bug.
