A bug of ghostscript_9.15+dfsg-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb

[王东举]

 I have updated the OS of my computer to ubuntu 15.04 amd64 edition recently.


     Then I found that when I use xelatex to complie my tex documents with some eps files which are produced by Adobe Acrobat Pro 9(my eps file come from pdf files), some error will occur like follows:

  I tried to use pdf2ps and ps2eps command to re-produce the eps files from my source pdf files. The new eps files can be complied, but the quality is much lower than before.


So I mailed to TeX Live group for this bug, they said it might be led by ghostsrcript. So I download the source code of ghostscript 9.16 and complie, install it.
the problem was sloved. So there must be something wrong in this application package.


 I attach a source pdf, a eps file produced by Acrobat 9 and another produced by pdf2ps and ps2eps command for reference.


The attachment is an example of this bug.  complie the tex file with xelatex.
