Description gmud 2006-06-12 13:56:35 UTC 
When using ps2pdf or gs directly or through kde print to pdf dialog ugly pdfs are generated. The letters are "jumping" up and down. This problem is valid for 
app-text/ghostscript-esp-8.15.1_p20060430 and ghostscript-esp-7.07.1-r10 as well as the gnu version. The following command was used to convert postscript to pdf:
gs -dNOPLATFONTS -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=test.pdf -dSAFER -c .setpdfwrite -f 
pdfproblem.ps

I have attached the three files (ps and pdfs).

I don't know if it is an upstream problem or gentoo specific (patches or so).

It's not a ghostscript bug:
