Description Markus 2006-05-06 03:39:10 UTC 
When using pdf2ps or the kde printer-preview when printing a pdf it will end up in a very tiny font (the single letters are very small, but the spacing seems to be kept). After some searching I found this http://lists.debian.org/debian-printing/2006/02/msg00024.html bug-report for debian. The problem is the same, but I donnt know wether the solution can be adapted.

Does the ~arch version of ghostscript-esp instead of ghostscript-gnu help?

I suggest you use that then, because it is better imo.
Comment 2 Markus 2006-05-06 04:50:29 UTC 
app-text/ghostscript-esp-8.15.1_p20060430 works fine.
Why isnt it the default on amd64 when the other one is not working?
(Why is the other one unmasked at all?)
Comment 3 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-05-06 05:06:30 UTC 
There is a sexurity-bug open to mark it stable on amd64, but they dont react. And well, it seems -gnu has more bugs currently.

wont fix -gnu, please use -esp or -gpl, thanks
