Most unfortunate. Can you say how exactly the page is failing? Are there any messages? Xprint output was failing under gv some time ago. I filed a bug under gv. It seemed to us that Xprint may have been making a more sophisticated use of Postscript, that gv wasn't expecting. But the problem did not occur universally. The test page I sent, which failed for me, worked fine for both Xprint upstream and for the gv maintainer. Eventually the bug was closed in gv and is now lost somewhere in the archives. You may be guessing where I'm going with all this... the postscript file you attached works perfectly fine on my system. Lovely coastal photos of the National Park in Almeria. Because the file works on some systems in not on others, with no obvious correlation between them, it's difficult to know where to take this bug. I'm using an i386 system (Pentium-M laptop). I might have supposed it was a bug in the gv libraries, except that you're using the same i386 (i686) libraries. right? The only thing I can suggest is to look deeper, at gs itself. There are three versions, gs-gpl, gs-esp, gs-afpl. I'm using gs-eps by default. Which one are you using? Mind you, used directly, all the gs's seem to behave the same way. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Drew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
