I have a feeling its a problem with the font handling. I cant open a file in
inkscape either, the image looks fine but the fonts are missing. Try setting
ps.usedistiller = ghostscript. That converts the file to low-level
postscript, which CS should definitely be able to open. It worked for
inkscape, at least.
