Oddly enough, ps2epsi seems to produce the correct output, regardless of the error - ps2pdf not so. I have reinstalled ghostscript-gnu, but it didn't solve the problem. Are there some port around that messed with them in a way that didn't showed up untill I pkg_delete'd those ports? /Andreas -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?
