nor the PDF invoice my ISP just sent me :-(

It displays the the correct number of page-buttons down the
left-hand-side, but then every page it tries to display gives:

But all Postscript files seem to work fine.

What command did you invoke that lead to above error?

I tried the following (using the slightly newer ghostscript from unstable):

  wget http://www.pjb.com.au/muscript/samples/courante.pdf
  /usr/bin/gs courante.pdf

It displayed a page full of musical notes, and did not crash.


Versions of packages ghostscript recommends:
ii  psfontmgr                     0.11.10-4  PostScript font manager -- part of

Did you try install above recommended package?

Do you perhaps have something odd below /usr/local which confuses ghostscript?


Kind regards,

 - Jonas
