@Björgvin, *,

Cool! That was obscure, so the work on bug 41407 to speed up EPS processing by
switching from ImageMagick's convert to ghostscript based rendering of a PNG
preview--done just at release for the 4.2.0 branch--caused the long running
regression.

So now with a 24-bit PNG preview, fidelity of rendered EPS should return. So
that's great.

But what about retaining the EPS structure as vector? We keep the EPS around
for printing to a PS printer, but we do everything else with bitmap previews. 
Is there any chance of working internally in a vector format?  EPS -> SVG
perhaps as an import filter? And further refine handling of SVG.

Already have ghostscript, poppler and cairo in the mix--doesn't that get us
most of the way to a "built-in" filter handling of EPS as in bug 67464
