Re: Problems with teTeX on FreeBSD 4.7

2002-12-26 Thread Gene C. Ruzicka


 Thanks for your bug report.
 
 Since you have found your work-around and since I am close to release
 a new version of teTeX, it does not make much sense to try fixing
 teTeX-1.0.7 in this respect.
 
 The current teTeX-beta (which is already close to the next teTeX
 release) is known to work fine on FreeBSD/i386. If you want to try
 it yourself, follow the beta versions link on the teTeX homepage
 (http://tug.org/teTeX/).

i've looked over the list of supported teTeX platforms at the above link, 
but none of them corresponds to my platform, which is X86/cygwin . 
do you support the cygwin platform, or are the cygwin people responsible
for that?

 Did you check the bug reports on sourceforge?  Is this bug #524292
 (present in gs7.03-7.10, but not 6.51, now marked as closed):

thanx a whole lot for bringing this bug report to my attention. i have indeed been
using gs7.03 - 7.10, and a workaround described at sourceforge,
using -dCompatibilityLevel=1.3
in ps2pdf, fixes the problem.  interestingly, the gswin32c i've been using is based on
gs7.0, so the
bug must have slipped through the crack between the  gs versions i've been using. 
i've
just become aware that gs 8.0 is now available, and i hope the problem is absent there.
