Try ksnapshot. > It doesn't seem to be a real problem. > Just an odd minor inconvenience. I also experience it from time to time. It's probably a bug in gv (or gs). I'm using debian sarge, and gv 3.5.8-31, gs 7.07-1. I think what happens is that gv forgets some of its font symbols, so they are not displayed. The problem started occuring for me very soon after \include "paper*" was changed to set-global-staff-size, so I think this has something to do with it.
