Rounded dashed lines

[Theo H. <th...@ph...>]

Hi all. I'm not really sure why this happens, but if I create a graph in 
gnuplot using the epslatex (or even just plain postscript) terminal with 
rounded and dashed lines, the dashed lines come out as solid lines when 
I convert to PDF with either Distiller or epstopdf. Why? The dashed 
lines show up fine in the eps file when I preview it.

Works fine here using either ps2pdf from ghostscript version 8.15.3
or epstopdf from pdfeTeX 3.141592-1.30.6-2.2

Is it possible that your pdf file is OK, but your pdf viewer does not
handle it correctly?

Huh... PDF file is OK when viewed with gsview and with Acrobat 7.0, but 
not with Reader/Acrobat 8.0. Very weird.
