Dear Mukhtar,
to clarify the problem at hand:
1. I do have .eps files already (generated by a circuit drawing program plus an
.eps driver),
2. but they contain bounding box information that relates to the _page_ size,
not the actual drawing _tile_ size
3. the usual method to import something like this into LyX is to render the
.eps using ghostscript to get the actual drawing _tile_ size bounding box
values and having that information written back to the .eps file, then import
it to LyX using the "get bounding box from file" option.
Now, with broken ghostscript giving back wrong tile size bounding box
information when rendering because of a bug as it unfortunately seems to be the
case with current versions >= 8.60, an alternate method to get the correct
_tile_ size bounding box information (without broken ghostscripz) would be of
great help to import those .eps drawings into LyX.
As I see it, your suggestions of using eps2eps and ps2eps wouldn´t help with
this problem.
Unfortunately, most tools dealing with bounding box information within an .eps
or ps file depend on working but not broken ghostscript, because most of them
only are "wrappers" around ghostscript to make it somewhat user friendly.
Actually, the "bbget" utility I used so far and pointed to in my first article
on this problem is just such "wrapper", depending on a not-broken ghostscript
to do its work.
Kind regards,
Tom Schlangen
