[patch] After 1/4 of a years testing, I think this patch fixes the bug 121849.

gv-gs-hidden-param.patch (text/plain), 1.59 KB, created by Markus Steinborn on 2006-04-13 12:59:03 UTC

There are postscript files which do not display well with gs option "-g2x2".
This patch disables auto-appending "-g2x2" to gs options.
Furthermore the standard options to gs are from now on
"-dFIXEDMEDIA" instead of none. ("-dFIXEDMEDIA" seems to be more compatible 
than "-g2x2", but further testing is needed).
