Which files ? (hmmm... I see. Basically, all new files. Must redo the
patch. Damn, "cvs diff" doesn't want to do things properly.
pswrap.mak, render_dps* are supposed to be in app/

What kind of twiddling ?

Hmmm... What DPS server do you use ? DGS ? gtkDPS ? Which version ? (same for
pswraps) (I'm using dgs_0.5.10-4 and dpsclient_0.5.10-4 as in Debian
unstable, gtkDPS 0.3.4-1 build against the former)
Normally, it should not try to load fonts Ghostscript doesn't have with the
usual packages (gsfonts etc.). What distro are you using ? If you're using
dgs, can dgs use the standard fonts ? (do gtkDPS' samples, and texteroids
run correctly ?)
I guess I'll have to put checks for fonts somewhere.

What's your screen's resolution ? (as seen by X, and as seen by your DGS
agent). It shouldn't crash, though. Do you have an idea of where does it ?
Did you have a look at the new .eps files (this is still pretty orthogonal
to the DPS renderer).
