Re: [Matplotlib-users] problem with saving eps and ps with GTKAgg backend (and current head of SVN)

[Johann Cohen-T. <co...@sl...>]

I am closing the issue I had with ghostscript : I just built in 
/usr/local ghostscript 8.56 and now saving in eps file does not truncate 
the figure anymore.
Thanks to Darren for pointing out that the FC5 version of ghostscript is 
way old.... And it looks like the FC7 version is as old !!
Probably a licensing issue.

Anyway, thanks.
