Description Alexey 2013-04-29 09:50:45 UTC 
Just installed the default cantor package with maxima backend in ubuntu 13.04 and got the view shown on a screenshot in the attachment. Looks like EPS displaying  is broken.
Some notes:
All manually inserted eps images looks corrupted. Other formats are OK.
Other programs (tried gwenview and kolourpaint) display cached eps images properly.

If it does matter, I use proprietary nvidia drivers.

Hi,
i think this is a problem of libspectre/ghostscript. 
Can you try starting cantor from a terminal with "LANG=C cantor"? this at least fixes the problem for me.
Comment 3 Alexey 2013-06-25 05:03:24 UTC 
Yep, it fixes the problem. Thanks.
There is similar bug and there's said that it's ghostscript's issue:

Comment 4 Christoph Feck 2013-07-03 22:45:32 UTC 
So is this http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693843 and fixed with a recent ghostscript?
Comment 5 Alexander Semke 2016-05-26 19:06:10 UTC 
I had this problem two or three years ago on openSuse too. Seems to be fixed already. The problem doesn't occur anymore with Cantor 0.6 and ghostscript9.15 on openSuse Leap 42. I'm closing this ticket.
