I just expect Postscript tools to behave consistently, and gv doesn't behave consistently with the others. I don't know how important the above error is, but as no other viewers complained about it (and gv doesn't even give any warning about a DSC error), this error seems to be minor. BTW, on <http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/PostScript_FAQ>, it is said: "It appears that correctness of DSC comments has been never tested even by major vendors." So, I think that gv needs to be quite tolerant, like the other viewers. > File a bug against dvips. Unfortunately this is too late after an electronic document (in Postscript) has been published. At that time, I was using ghostview under Solaris, and I couldn't see the problem. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
