Package: gs-esp
Version: 8.15.3.dfsg.1-1
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
I use pdflatex to build work presentations frequently. My figures
are usually created using gnuplot as encapsulated postscript files,
and then converted to pdf's using epstopdf to call gs-esp.
In the past, the pdf's I would create automatically matched their text and
lines to the foreground colors of the latex document. After converting foo.eps
to foo.pdf, xpdf foo.pdf shows me a black on white figure. When the
presentation style in presentation.tex is white-on-blue, the pdf produced by
pdflatex would include the foo.pdf figure with white text and lines instead of
the usual black. Transparent parts of the original figure are honored so the
background color shows through.
With the current versions of gs-esp, the outputted figure foo.pdf incorporated
by pdflatex always gets incorporated with black text and lines. This is fine
when the background is light, but very hard to read when the background is
dark.
I have an example .eps file that have been converted to .pdf using both old and
new versions of gs-esp. When pdflatex is run, the old versions match the
specified foreground colors but the new versions don't. For this reason, I
believe the bug is in gs-esp, and not pdflatex. I've recompiled the source for
gs-esp_7.07.1, and .pdf's created with this old version gives me the desired
bahavior. My guess is that the needed behavior was lost at the version
bump.
