I can see the difference in the PNG file and can reproduce it with the file in comment #11. However it might be better to open a new bug. When I said in comment #9 Please reopen this bug if it is not fixed for you on Lucid, I was thinking more of if you were still having trouble with the PRL

Oh and I suggest downloading the png file and viewing it in 'Normal Size' in say, Eye of Gnome, so that it looks just like it did on my screen. (Otherwise, you probably won't notice the differences. And trust me, the slightly inferior rendering can be quite irritating when reading pages of scanned
