So you're saying that the pdf2ps conversion works right, so you get a PS
that looks exactly like what you want except you want it in PDF?
I.e. the problem is that the ps2pdf conversion does something wrong?
If so, what does it do wrong, concretely? Does ps2pdf introduce the
same problems or are these different?
