Re: [MiKTeX] VERY WICKED Ghostscript EPS Problem?? *VERY* appreciative of any help

[Alex D. <de...@fe...>]

I had a similar problem: something viewable in gsview and printable
generated YAP errors. (The offending command was lineto.) *MY GUESS* is that
MikTeX uses its own ps engine, not the one installed in the system, which
does not implement everything declared in ps. (YAP refers to a certain dll
which is too large to just call an external program; there seems to be no
way to redirect it elsewhere except rewriting that dll.) But, once again,
this is only *MY* guess :)
In my case, at the end I replaced lineto with Bezier.
