I've got some new information on this: It is a limitation in PostScript, but one can work around it. The breakurl package, available on CTAN, does this: it cuts the hyperlink in many parts at some predefined chars and lets it be wrapped over the line. >> Should we close this bug, reassign it to tetex-bin, or what? > > I filed it against tetex-bin... I wasn't aware that you did so - usually when people complain about this they blame hyperref. And since the maintainer of hyperref, Heiko Oberdied, expressed interest in the problem, it might be that there will be some "breakurls interface" in hyperref or similar. Therefore I'm retitling the bug, and we'll see what happens. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Zürich Debian Developer
