I am experiencing what appears to be the same problem. Just upgraded to 14.04 from 12.04, all of my eps files now have black backgrounds when viewed with evince. I've attached an example eps file.
The file displays normally with ghostview. ** Attachment added: "Example eps file that renders with a black background." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1348384/+attachment/4171120/+files/countrate.eps -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1348384 Title: evince and okular do not render eps files correctly resulting in a black background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1348384/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
