This is a bug in gs which appeared sometime between 7.07 and 8.14. It drove me nuts too -- I upgraded to 8.14 in an effort to get better PDF handling and was quite disappointed to see the results, as you were. You can downgrade to GNU ghostscript (gs package?), which is still at 7.07 in the Debian archive IIRC. xpdf seems to do better for me for viewing PDFs. You could also change State->Ghostscript Options->Convert PDF in gv to "pdftops %pdf %ps", which uses the xpdf converter instead of the gs one. See http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=687419 http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=687376 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=243785 I believe the gs people claim it will be fixed in 8.15.
