Package: libpaps-dev
Version: 0.6.8-2
Severity: important
File: libpaps
Tags: upstream


Firstly this problem can be demonstrated in squeeze by compiling and 
running the test_libpaps program from the upstream release. If you view 
te rendered postscript in evince you can see the first line of text is 
slightly malformed.

I have found in my code that including a space in the first few 
characters of input passed to "pango_layout_set_text" and then rendered 
in paps produces this effect. After the firsdt few characters there are 
no problems with any input I have tried.

Additionally if the first character in the input buffer is a space thwen 
the resulting postscript is buggy and won't render in ghostscript.

I have tried passing input to the commandline paps to see if it can be 
made to show similar issues, but that always comes out fine, I expect 
this is a result of the additional processing going on there.

I have attempted to find a way of reporting this to the upstream 
maintainer, but I haven't had much success.
