Package: gs-esp
Version: 8+8.15rc4.dfsg.1-2
Severity: important


Using the latest version gs-esp as the postscript backend for gv causes
latex fonts to look horrible. The fonts are rasterzied correctly in the
stable version 7.07.1-9.   

Compare the stable version:
http://fluxion.mit.edu/old.png

with the unstable version:
http://fluxion.mit.edu/new.png

Note the lack of the bold font on Interests,how the letters appear
wispy and the terrible kerning.

Unsurprisingly, asking after 5 years didn't accomplish much. ;-)

Sorry we didn't get to this in time.  I'm closing the bug now, but
please feel free to reopen if you experience it again.
