Evince shows a few of the eps files weirdly:
test_bbox_ghostscript_False.eps comes out as 8.5x11 inch while the other
come out as 8x6 inches.
test_bbox_xpdf_False.eps is the correct size, but the graph was placed as if
it was centered on a 8.5x11 page, thereby cutting off the bottom half of the
graph.
The system:
Fedora 13
pdftops 0.12.4
ghostscript 8.71
evince 2.30.3 (using libspectre 0.2.4)
I will try out my Ubuntu system tonight.
