The only direct interaction I could think of a TeX distro having with
postscript, would be the provision of PostScript Type1 fonts, especially

repositories added by automatix (but many people do that). The only

Strange, I couldn't reproduce this. Perhaps there is something unique in
your font configuration/installed fonts? Have either of you installed
some fonts since installing, or done anything that might make your
situation a little more unique, font-or-postscript-wise? FWIW, I also

I think the problem may be to do with searching for missing fonts. In
any case, I can confirm the problem and attach a small eps file which
exhibits the issue

I'm sorry, I didn't understand what does the answer means? In particular, is
there any hope for the bug at this point?
So far, I have switched manually to AFPL, so I'm covered, but the problem

In former times, the newest GhostScript version was only available under
the AFPL license which does not allow commercial redistribution (What
distros are doing). With every new major version the previous version
was released under GPL as GPL GHostScript. ESP GhostScript is a fork of

I can confirm the problem. I have attached a file that gets this behavior every

Good news: I found a workaround- but it's not pretty.
