Public bug reported: Ghostscript 9.26 in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS has a bug which causes wrongly sized boundary boxes in output from epstool. This appears to a single- line typing mistake that has been fixed in Ghostscript 9.27. Could Ghostscript 9.26 (used in 18.04 LTS) be patched?
Details of bug and fix are here: https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=700306 Bug 700306: Fix values returned by bbox device. The "any part of a pixel" code in the new scan converter holds a "cursor" position that determines where edges intersect with the scanlines. The leftmost and rightmost positions of intersection are held in this as values of type fixed. The "null" cursor position is represented by using maximal/minimal values. Unfortunately, I used {max,min}_int_in_fixed, rather than {max,min}_fixed, which meant they weren't nearly as maximal/minimal as they ought to have been. ** Affects: ghostscript (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ghostscript in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1830496 Title: Ghostscript 9.26 does not set bounding box correctly Status in ghostscript package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Ghostscript 9.26 in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS has a bug which causes wrongly sized boundary boxes in output from epstool.
