Observations: - gs-esp doesn't like this file. With gs = gs-esp, gs and gv displays a page and then immediately blanks it; all but the last page. - After installing gs-gpl and setting alternatives appropriately, gv displays the PDF file (not generated PS file) just fine. - Converting the PDF file to PostScript using gs (xpdf uses an internal conversion facility), and then viewing the results in gv look just fine. - The broken PS generated by xpdf appears to be using a just-slightly-larger version of the same font. This is probably the source of the kerning errors, as it is fairly typical for PDF files to specify absolute coordinates for individual words. The words are slightly larger than they ought to be given the originally-intended metrics, and thus they run together.
Given these observations, it seems fairly clear that the bug resides with xpdf, rather than gs. ** Changed in: xpdf (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: ghostscript => xpdf Importance: Undecided => Medium -- PDF displays properley with evince/xpdf, prints/converts to PS with bad fonts/kerning https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49582 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
