Package: ghostscript Version: 9.56.0~dfsg-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Forwarded: https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=704681
In some cases, the ToUnicode CMap generated by ps2pdf -dNEWPDF=false
is incorrect. Testcase chartest7.pdf attached.

Even though upstream does not intend to work on the old PDF interpreter
any longer, the fact that the incorrect mapping does not appear yet with
the new PDF interpreter is just due to some other issues with it.
The chartest7.pdf file has been obtained with pdflatex from
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\pdfglyphtounicode{Scaron}{0160}
\pdfgentounicode=1
\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{empty}
'ê
\end{document}
Note that TeX Live now has
\pdfglyphtounicode{Scaron}{0160}
\pdfgentounicode=1
by default, which makes the bug more visible than before.
This follows bug 995392 against previous ghostscript versions (which
only had the old PDF interpreter).
