After further checking I find that this is the solution, despite my previous email saying it could not be the case. I have now downgraded to gs 8.00 on /usr/local/bin (previously gs 8.11) and all postscript output views correctly even in the LaTeX documents using production output of neutron and x-ray powder diffraction that were previously causing problems. That is to say that documents that previously exhibited the problem now don't. More surprsingly (to me) the printed output is correct. I have my printer queues set up using CUPS and appropriate ppd files specific for our departmental printers. As these are postscript printers and the correct PPD files are used I had assumed this meant ghostscript was not interacting with the printing. I was most surprised to discover this assumption must be wrong. It would appear that gs is in the loop with a postscript file being sent to a postscript printer as I have them setup. I will now have to work on a bug report for ghostscript 8.11. It appears I blamed the wrong upgrade (R rather than ghostscript, encouraged by the printed results). I knew I had upgraded the two close together, but had not checked the dates sufficiently. I assume this closes this `bug report' unless you wish to be informed of any progress in isolating the problem in gs 8.11. -- Stephen Harker [EMAIL PROTECTED] School of Physics & Materials Engineering Monash University http://www.ph.adfa.edu.au/s-harker/ Baloney Baffles brains: Eric Frank Russell ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
