Hi Fernando,

Which version of ghostscript are you using? We had trouble with bboxes usin=
g a=20
version older than ghostscript-8.16.=20

I use ghostscript's epswrite device to convert a latex-generated postscript=
 to=20
eps. It converts the fonts to bitmaps, as you pointed out, but you can=20
increase the resolution in rc with ps.distiller.res: I have it set to 6000,=
=20
and the files are not too big.

Would you send me a copies of the bad eps and the fixed version, and also a=
=20
copy of ps2eps? I don't have that program on my system, and was not able to=
=20
find it on the web.

Thanks,
Darren
