--- Begin Message ---Package: ghostscript Version: 8.70~dfsg-2 Severity: normal Certain ps/eps files produced by python-matplotlib are not translated properly to pdf by ps2pdf/eps2pdf. In particular, negative numbers as labels on a color bar end up as two dashes in the pdf (as viewed by both xpdf and evince). Xpdf also complains about the translated pdf file. The original ps/eps files display perfectly with gv and evince. This problem occurs only with ps2pdf/eps2pdf in squeeze. The lenny versions of these scripts yield translations which present properly in xpdf etc. I am including a short python script which produces the ps and eps files which exhibit the problem. Select the ps or eps output when the matplotlib display window pops up and then translate the file to pdf using ps2pdf or eps2pdf. I can provide the original ps and the translated pdf files done on both lenny and squeeze if desired. ------------------------------------ #!/usr/bin/python from numpy import * import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # this demos a bug in the eps output x = linspace(0,6,13) y = linspace(0,3,7) (X,Y) = meshgrid(x,y) a = 3.5*sin(X)*sin(Y) c = plt.contourf(x,y,a) b = plt.colorbar(c, orientation = 'vertical') lx = plt.xlabel('x') ly = plt.ylabel('y') ax = plt.axis([0,6,0,3]) plt.show() ---------------------------------------------- -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages ghostscript depends on: ii debconf [debc 1.5.28 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 3.2.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii defoma 0.11.10-4 Debian Font Manager -- automatic f ii ghostscript [ 8.70~dfsg-2 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF ii gs-common 8.70~dfsg-2 Dummy package depending on ghostsc ii gsfonts 1:8.11+urwcyr1.0.7~pre44-4 Fonts for the Ghostscript interpre ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgs8 8.70~dfsg-2 The Ghostscript PostScript/PDF int Versions of packages ghostscript recommends: ii psfontmgr 0.11.10-4 PostScript font manager -- part of ghostscript suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
