Name : ghostscript Product : Fedora 9 Version : 8.62 Release : 4.fc9 URL : http://www.ghostscript.com/ Summary : A PostScript(TM) interpreter and renderer. Description : Ghostscript is a set of software that provides a PostScript(TM) interpreter, a set of C procedures (the Ghostscript library, which implements the graphics capabilities in the PostScript language) and an interpreter for Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Ghostscript translates PostScript code into many common, bitmapped formats, like those understood by your printer or screen. Ghostscript is normally used to display PostScript files and to print PostScript files to non-PostScript printers. If you need to display PostScript files or print them to non-PostScript printers, you should install ghostscript. If you install ghostscript, you also need to install the ghostscript-fonts package. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This fixes some problems rendering certain types of document. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Jun 23 2008 Tim Waugh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 8.62-4 - Applied patch to work around bug #229174. - Applied patch from upstream to fix box_fill_path for shfill (bug #452348). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #229174 - ghostscript dumps core when processing .pdf file https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=229174 [ 2 ] Bug #452348 - ghostscript segfault at gx_path_is_void src/gxpath2.c:154 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452348 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
