Hmmm.... It works here.... What does plain "gs" do on your system? Plain gs works fine. (gs version is: GNU Ghostscript 6.53 (2002-02-13)) I can confirm this problem. GS doesn't complain, and kpdf, gv, xpdf (though black boxes when printed) and acroread works fine. Another pdf document demonstrating the same problem: http://www.imec.be/essderc/papers-97/315.pdf Actually all pdf viewers for Linux I have tried have this problem either on display (as in this case) or only when printing to file/printer. Therefore I suspect the problem to be in a common driver/library. Created attachment 11088 [details]
Example pdf document demonstrating the problem
Attaching the document. The black boxes are reproduced by printing to file
using kprinter and cups.
The same problem exists when displaying .ps files generated by other pdf viewers like kpdf that displays correctly. The same pdfs are displayed correctly in xpdf, kpdf and acrobat reader. This problem seems to have the same cause as to my printing problem described in debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=309847. My printing problem and this problem disappears when I change from the gs-esp (GPL ghostscript++) to the gs-afpl (non-free ghostscript from http://www.ghostscript.com/) package. Then it actually is not a kghostscript bug. Works just fine in Okular. |
