Package: graphviz
Version: 2.16.1-2
Severity: important
The PostScript output in 'dot' and 'neato' programs of Graphviz package is
broken in most
cases. Below I illustrate this bugreport with two examples using 'neato'. All
mentioned
input/output files are available in a sigle ZIP archive at:
ftp://weird.da.ru/bugs/neato_ps_bug.zip
First, let's consider a small input 1a.dot and supply it to neato as
dot -v -T ps -O 1a.dot
I provide the resulting file under the name 1a.ps and the log produced by neato
under the name 1a.log.
The file 1a.ps is broken that can be easily seen, comparing its content to the
correct PDF file 1a.pdf,
produced by the same command with "-T pdf" instead of "-T ps".
The source of troubles in this example seems to be the explicitly specified
fontname in
1a.dot: fontname="freefont/FreeSans" despite that the log 1a.log does not
indicate any
apparent problems with the specified font.
If I remove this specification (see 1b.dot) then the neato's output (1b.ps) is
correct.
Unfortunately, the fontname is not always an issue. In the second example
(2.dot) I don't
use any fontname= but the resulting file (2.ps) does not contain any image at
all, despite its
rather large size and no apparent errors in the log file (2.log).
Again, if the output format is switched to PDF, neato produces a correct file
(2.pdf).
Actually, PDF (or PNG) output format perfectly works with fontname=
specification as the one mentioned above.
But in most cases I have no luck with PostScript format, the resulting .ps
files are broken.
Best Regards,
Max

I concur with upstream, that's not a bug. That's why I'm closing this
bugreport.
