Yes. It didn't give printable output, at least for my tests (LaTeX/dvips poster + file from Bug #255718). It's mainly the above change that caused problems. I'm not a postscript expert, but the whole poster (typically single-page) is defined in one macro "/print_content_of_complete_page_XX". Then the macro is used multiple times, for each new page. That makes the resulting postscript document much smaller, but it seems to break other things. Maybe there is some size limitation in postscript for macros? Nevertheless, that was the reason I preferred the 2005 version over the 2006 version, because it seems to be the more stable one, although it produces larger documents. cheers, Daniel -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Hermann, Institut fuer Theoretische Festkoerperphysik Universitaet Karlsruhe Tel: ++49 (0)721 608-7328 Postfach 6980 Fax: ++49 (0)721 608-7779 76128 Karlsruhe, Germany email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
