It's now purged.
Fonts are generally somewhat messed up on this system, for reasons I've been unable to fathom. ggv (gnome ghostview, still running under KDE) 2.4.0.1-1 shows 4 blank pages for the file. I think I tried this on a CUPS system with the same results, but I'll double check. > > > > > The bug does not seem specific to gv.

Stupid question, did you upgrade > xprt-common? The PDF printer is in /etc/Xprint/.../printer. > No, I didn't upgrade xprt-common. I have since done so; the problem persists. While installing the new setup files, I noticed two non-standard features of my C/document file: *default-medium: na-letter *default-printer-resolution: 600 In particular, this is twice the usual resolution. However, I am getting much more than a 2x (or 4x in area) enlargement). Once I did this the pdf printer option came up in mozilla. I have 4 options; here are the results: 1) lp@:64 that's what I've been using. gv barfs, other programs show enlarged upper left corner only. 2) xp_ps_spooldir_tmp_Xprintjobs@:64 same as above 3) xp_pdf_spooldir_tmp_Xprintjobs@:64 unreadable by acroread, xpdf, gv (another bug?) acroread says Warning: charset of fontList (XDCCC_GRAY_CORRECTION-ISO8859) does not match locale (ISO8859-1) xpdf says Error: May not be a PDF file (continuing anyway) Error (0): PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table... Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary Error: Couldn't read xref table Warning: XtRemoveGrab asked to remove a widget not on the list Warning: XtRemoveGrab asked to remove a widget not on the list Warning: XtRemoveGrab asked to remove a widget not on the list Warning: XtRemoveGrab asked to remove a widget not on the list Warning: XtRemoveGrab asked to remove a widget not on the list Warning: XtRemoveGrab asked to remove a widget not on the list gv gives the usual Error: PostScript interpreter failed in main window. 4) PostScript/default (which I think someone said doesn't use xprt) works P.S. For the BTS, if you haven't been following this thread: the problem is not specific to gv. display (form ImageMagick) and whatever hylafax uses (ps2fax?) both show the enormously enlarged upper-left hand portion of the image only. gs also shows it enlarged. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
