Re: feature request: Pre-seeding the random number generator

> with a read from /dev/random but it's not portable on all architectures I believe reading from /dev/random can block. (As mentioned in Perl_seed(pTHX) you kindly pointed us to :). There's a non-blocking /dev/urandom, even less portable, but useful where it exists. There has been tons of r

Re: PDF generated by GNU GhostScript

Hi Maria, I would like to know if the PDF file generated by GNU Ghostscript can be edited in Adobe Designer because from my experience it cannot be edited because of some fonts not found. I have no knowledge of Designer, but as far as fonts go, you can tell Ghostscript to embed

Re: MuPDF rendering bug (clipping failure)

Where to report this bug? http://code.google.com/p/sumatrapdf/issues/detail?id=120 I'm not sure how this got to Ghostscript, but all I can suggest is using the sumatrapdf forums: http://blog.kowalczyk.info/forum_sumatra/. It appears that's the way the sumatrapdf author prefers to be conta

Re: MuPDF rendering bug (clipping failure)

http://www.ghostscript.com/awki/MuPDF I see. I don't believe this project is related to GNU Ghostscript, though, which is just a repackaging (mostly to remove nonfree files) of the GPL Ghostscript from Aladdin. Admittedly it's all a less-than-obvious situation ... But I think that MuPDF

Re: ghostscript: empty gnu software archive

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ghostscript/ is totally empty. Not for me. There are plenty of files there. As a wild guess, maybe your ftp configuration is unhappy; try http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ghostscript/ Best, Karl

Re: Missing links to the URW+ fonts in 8.64's fontmap

Hi Ludo, PS: `bug-ghostscr...@gnu.org' seems to be swallowing emails without ever publishing them No, that is not correct, as you can see since I just received your email via bug-ghostscript. What happens is that the first time a sending address mails to bug-ghostscript (and virtually

CMap files freed

Didier and all, I believe GNU Ghostscript can finally include the CMap files now. I looked at the license and I believe it is fine; standard stuff. I haven't looked at the actual content to see if there are any differences from what Aladdin Ghostscript, et al., have been distributing. Best, karl

[lu...@adobe.com: Mapping Resources for PDF]

Hi Didier and all, I think the below completes Adobe's freeing of all the mapping-related files. The previous (cmap) files that were freed are at http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/cmap/. Seems it would be nice to make another release of GNU Ghostscript including them now, wdyt? Thanks, K

Re: Problems with per-page orientation

Hi Josh, http://pastebin.com/f148a6963 I don't know if it's a bug or feature, either :). We didn't change anything about tiffg3 in our "downstream" GNU Ghostscript, so I think your best shot is to report it at http://bugs.ghostscript.com. to switch back on the automatic orientation fixi

Re: The ghostscript (with freetype support) can't render the embedded truetype font correctly.

Error Title: The ghostscript (with freetype support) can‘¡¯t render the embedded truetype font correctly. Thanks for the report, but this isn't something we changed to GNU Ghostscript. Your best shot is to report it at http://bugs.ghostscript.com and/or to the freetype project at http://f

Re: About code

I download a file of pdf and the pdf use GPL Ghostscript 8.15 When I copy and paste the content(chinese word), I want to use the file some word change something. Then the word only change the code. All I can tell you is that Ghostscript is not a PDF editor. I don't know what other so

Re: Ghostscript is vulnerable to CVE-2010-1628

Hi Markus, The bug-ghostscript list was configured to be very picky about attachments, so your second one didn't come through either. I just changed the list config. If you haven't already just sent it to Didier, please resend once more. Sorry. Didier, any ETA on a new GNU gs release? Thanks,

gs 8.71 pretest

Hi Didier, Perusing the gnu-ghostscript-8.71.0.20100730 pretest (thanks), I just see a couple minor things: - in README, it would be good to switch ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ghostscript/ to http (FSF sysadmins' preference), and after "GNU ftp mirror sites worldwide.", add http://ftpmirror.gnu.or
