The last version of ghostscript that does not exhibit this problem is ghostscript-gnu-7.05_5. I am not sure about the version number of ghostscript-afpl but recent versions exhibit this problem. See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/52187 Try reverting your version of ghostscript to 7.05_5 and see if that fixes the problem. -- Glenn Johnson USDA, ARS, SRRC Phone: (504) 286-4252 New Orleans, LA 70124 e-mail: gjohnson@srrc.ars.usda.gov
