Package: ghostscript
Version: 9.54.0~dfsg-5
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
The ps2pdf trashes some characters, making text non-searchable and
partly unreadable via pdftotext (even though the glyph appears to
be OK). There was no such issue in the recent past.
LaTeX source to generate the PDF testcase:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{empty}
Test: float.
\end{document}
to be compiled with pdflatex.
I've attached 2 files:
* chartest.pdf (testcase generated by pdflatex).
* chartest-gs.pdf, which is the buggy result obtained with
"ps2pdf chartest.pdf chartest-gs.pdf".
chartest.pdf contains the text "Test: float." as expected.
But chartest-gs.pdf contains the text "Test: ŕoat.", which
is incorrect: "fl" has been replaced by "ŕ".
Removing "\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}" or the period after "float" makes
this issue disappear.

That's a different issue.
Please report separately.
