Bug#322713: dvipdfm doesn't understand gs anymore



Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.2-31

Hi,

I am producing some reports using latex and dvipdfm. They all include
the same EPS graphics, and it worked well for years. 

But since last debian upgrade, dvipdfm terminates with this 
error message:

[1(../../../../Common/Doku/logo4c.eps<PS>Invalid PDF name
"HKS#2043#20K"

pdf_new_name:  invalid PDF name



I have tracked this down to:

- The EPS contains a command like

  1 0.75 0 0 (HKS 43 K) false newcmykcustomcolor


- dvipdfm calls gs to convert included EPS into
  PDF. Latest version of gs-eps produces a PDF file 
  with 

  [/Separation
  /HKS#2043#20K
  /DeviceCMYK
  9 0 R]endobj
  10 0 obj


  That HKS#2043#20K name is understood by every pdf application 
  except dvipdfm. 



If I modify (HKS 43 K) into (HKS43K) in the eps, everything
works again. So it is a problem of the Space characters, 
the way gs convertes them, and dvipdfm not understanding them.

regards
Hadmut
