Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ghostscript
A latex document that I am writing includes eps figures generated by
matplotlib that use greek and tex fonts for lettering. Previous to my
upgrade from jaunty to karmic, I was able to process these figures
correctly with dvipdf and then display them with evince or gv. After
the upgrade, greek and tex math symbols in the figures are messed up.
When I generate postscript with dvips instead of dvipdf, the postscript
displays the figures correctly. When I convert the postscript to pdf
with ps2pdf, the lettering which was correct in the postscript is messed
up in the pdf. When I generate the postscript file on a scientific
linux 5 system (functionally equivalent to redhat enterprise 5) and
transfer the pdf to my karmic ubuntu system, it displays correctly. I
am uploading a tar.gz archive containing the postscript file and the pdf
file that ps2pdf gives me. Look for instance at Figure 12 on page 19.
