Some remarks: - This problem only occurs if Ghostscript is fed with PDF. This is the case for current Ubuntu and Debian distributions, as they use a PDF- based printing workflow (CUPS turns incoming data to PDF, pre-processes the PDF (N-up, selected pages, ...), and sends PDF to the Ghostscript/driver process). Other distributions or older Ubuntu/Debian versions feed only PostScript into Ghostscript and then this problem does not occur.
- The mentioned changes in CUPS' mime.convs change the workflow of CUPS to be PostScript-based, eliminating feeding of PDF into Ghostscript. This makes the problem disappear. - CUPS accepts .types and .convs files not only in /etc/cups/ but also in /usr/share/cups/mime/. The latter was introduced as the Debian p[ackaging system considers everything in /etc/ as config files. This makes package updates work more reliably. For personal changes create .types and .convs files in /etc/cups. Rules in the files in /etc/cups have priority against rules for the same purpose in files in /usr/share/cups/mime/. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321932 Title: Ghostscript does not render when ttf-mscorefonts-installer is installed -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
