Description Robert Spillner 2018-04-15 20:27:45 UTC

The useflag "cjk" if a2ps creates ps-files with font errors when displayed by gs. Disabling cjk produces a document which can be
interpreted by gs.

I would expect the useflag to pull in necessary dependencies for Asian font sets.

The following error appears when opening a file with gs:

Please try 4.15. What dependencies do we need to add?

Comment 2 Robert Spillner 2023-07-24 10:36:24 UTC

It's now working for me with a2ps 4.15.4 and ghostscript 10.01.2, no more errors.
