Package: gs
Version: 8.15-4.1
Severity: important


There are problems with Japanese printing through Ghostscript (gs variants
with gs-cjk-resource). These problems turn up with

 - moz: printing through PostScript/Default (not xprint) in Mozilla.
 - xpdf: printing through xpdf (with Japanese support).

On my system, I tested:

 gs-esp, old version (gs-esp_7.07.1-9_i386.deb)
 gs-esp, new version (gs-esp_8.15.1.dfsg.1-1_i386.deb)
 gs-gpl, old version (gs-gpl_8.01-5_i386.deb)
 gs-gpl, new version (gs-gpl_8.15-4.1_i386.deb)

The only one which works at present is gs-esp, old version. 

A summary of the results is:

                     new                     old
                     ===                     ===

gs-esp, moz          ryumin error            OK
gs-esp, xpdf         ryumin error            OK

gs-gpl, moz          ryumin error            boxes
gs-gpl, xpdf         ryumin error            rubbish


Explanation: 

 - "ryumin error" means that when a .ps file is viewed with gv, you get
   the dreaded error message which begins

   Error: /undefinedresource in --findresource--
   Operand stack:
   F3331_0   0   Ryumin-Light-H   Font   Ryumin-Light-H   (Ryumin-Light-H)   
   12   Ryumin-Light   H   H   Ryumin-Light   Ryumin-Light   Ryumin-Light
   --nostringval--   (r)   --nostringval--   CMap   (r)   CMap   (r)
   
   [etc., etc.]

 - "boxes" means that Japanese characters are rendered as open squares. 

 - "rubbish" means that Japanese text is replaced as rubbish. E.g. in a pdf 
   file which I wanted to print, the text "戦略" was rendered
   as something like "@d!!#\N,I!!!!!". 

Using different versions of gs-common (new or old) does not seem to make any
difference. The new version (0.3.9) of gs-common always complains about

 - Use of uninitialized value in print at /var/lib/defoma/scripts/gs.defoma
   line 108.

The old version (0.3.7) does not do this, but the print results are the same.
