Package: tetex-bin Version: 2.0.2-25 Severity: important I use the pslatex package to print Linux Seminar courseware. This is heavily dependent on the correct rendering of backticks.
The backticks are rendered correctly if viewed in xdvi or PDF generated by pdflatex, whereas they are rendered incorrectly when using dvips. Alas, I cant switch to pslatex because I would have to convert 2000+ pages and hundreds of images to pdflatex. This bug concerns font pcrr7tn which is used in the pslatex-Style. The bold-face variant works fine. This bug is reproducable: # cd /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base This is e-TeX, Version 3.14159-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5) entering extended mode (./nfssfont.tex LaTeX2e <2001/06/01> Babel <v3.7h> and hyphenation patterns for american, german, ngerman, nohyphena tion, loaded.
