I'll be investigating it further. I have already verified that at least some of the Linux-derived gs ports display this fine, so it's a ports problem of some kind, because of the testing, and I know my gs and gs fonts are installed the way they should be. > > Chuck Robey wrote: >> Tim Kellers wrote: >> >>> Send me one, I have gv installed (FreeBSD 7.0-Stable Xorg 7.3_1). >>> >> >> Great, it's attached, I really appreciate this. >> >> >>> Chuck Robey wrote: >>> I'm seeing some odd display problems, and I need to get somebody else >>> to verify >>> for me if it's a pan-FreeBSD problem, or if perhaps I have some oddity >>> with my >>> ghostcript installation. >>> >>> My problem is, on doc files from the Xorg project, *.PS.gz files (and >>> not all of >>> these, only the ones deriving directly from Framework .mif files) gv >>> displays >>> blank pages, and ps2pdf is converting to blank pages on pdfs.
