I may have done something wrong in my tests, because actually,
only xpdf is now fine with the old out.pdf file. But all xpdf,
zathura and atril have no issues with the file generated by the
current ps2pdf. This confirms a good change in ghostscript.
However, the new ps2pdf triggers a bug / unimplemented feature
in atril (but this isn't a bug in ghostscript).
