Bug#721137: ghostscript: ps2pdf produces bad pdf on x86_64 (unreadeable text)

Just ran ps2pdf on my amd64 laptop against your provided Postscript 
file, and text is readable.

Do you get any error messages?

The files seem all pretty small - Could you perhaps attach both input, 
previously working output and current failing output to your email, so 
that we do not depend on access to your host (and, if needed, so that 
upstream can grab those files and use in their testsuite)?


Not sure if relevant, but skimming through your Postscript it seems to 
contain bitmapped fonts (i.e. not all embedded as vectorized fonts).  
Could this perhaos be an issue of broken fonts?


Regards,

 - Jonas
