ghostscript cuts of my characters

[Christian Schwarz <schwarz@monet.m.isar.de>]

Hi!

I've got problems with TeX->DVI-Postscript. Small characters are cut off
at the right hand side if I use gs-4.01. This doesn't occur with the old
gs-2.62.

It would be nice if someone else could try this out and report if this is
a specific problem of my configuration or a general one (in which case I
should probably report this as a bug).

I'm using the following packages:

ii  texbin          3.1415-5       TeX - The typesetting system
ii  amsfonts        2.2-3          Additional Fonts from the AMS for
ii  dvipsk          5.58f-5        TeX DVI-driver for Postscript
ii  gs              2.62-2         Postscript interpreter with X11 and
	or
ii  gs              4.01-4         Postscript interpreter with X11 and

Here is a simple test: Just run this through TeX (plain tex, no latex)
------------
\font\demo=eufm8 scaled 707
\demo)
\bye
------------
This should typeset a closing parenthesis `)' in the euler font.
Then convert the DVI file into a postscript with dvips:
	dvips -o test.ps test.dvi
My dvips/config.ps says:
[snip]
% Default resolution.
D 300

% Metafont mode.  (This is completely different from the -M command-line
% option, which controls whether MakeTeXPK is invoked.)
M CanonCX
[snip]

Now if I print it with gs (or preview it with ghostview) I get the whole
parenthesis when using the old gs and just a part of it with the new gs.

Any hints?


Thanks in advance,

Chris
