5 PostScript quirks - ID: 2435344
Last Update: Comment added ( rgottlieb )

Systems using GhostScript seem to have problems displaying and printing
Varkon PostScript output.

Evince crashes on attempting to print Varkon .ps files.

If the Varkon PostScript output is run through ps2ps, evrything is fixed,
and the model is printed as large as possible on the given paper size.

Here's the MBS that produces the output. Just a simple box.

Here's the converted output, run through ps2ps. They won't let you attach
more than one file at a time? /:-/

The bug is real. Try the attachments.

Heh, Now I can't reproduce the problem.

This is a problem I have never heard of before. Is it possible for you to
send me
the two files (before ps2ps and after) so that I can check what the
diference is ?
