| Summary | 0001047: scribus (or rather say ghostscript) failed to produce postscript level 2 ps file. | ||||
| Description | It's out of my knowledge to determine if this is a ghostscript bug or scribus bug: scribus could produce postscript level 3 file, but ghostscript failed to downgrade to level 2. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1) open the buggy file attached to bug 0001046 2) click print to ps file, adjust ps level to 2 3) print it. Scribus runs busy for a while, and 0 byte postscript file is created. A gs.core is left on home directory. | ||||
| Additional Information | ghostscript is v7.07 if I let scribus create ps level 3 file, and downlevel it to level 2 by using ps2ps(1) in the ghostscript package, I got: % ps2ps Document-3.ps Document-2.ps Segmentation Fault (Core dumped) | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
| Patch | |||||

|
Now I use ps2ps on Gentoo Linux from ghostscript 7.07.1, the process does not coredump and created a printable level 2 file. So it seems this is a fixed ghostscript problem? |
|
|
Just for reference, the resulted ps level 2 file is attached. I close this bug because I can do the conversion in gs 7.07.1 in Gentoo. However there is no 7.07.1 gs port in FreeBSD yet. I'll re-test it when there is 7.07.1 gs on FBSD. |

Reminder sent to Zhang Weiwu If you are using Gentoo, we suggest to unmerge ghostscript and emerge ghostscript-afpl. The afpl licensed version is MUCH better as it is at version 8.14. |
