What do you mean a "file" with an eps graphic embedded?

How > do I find it and how do I point to it? It's weird that it doesn't happen with gnome-gv, since they all use "ghostscript" to render the postscript. Since Helvetica-Bold should be a "built-in" font with ghostscript, I suspect your (a) missing the font or font metrics for some reason, (b) your /etc/gs.Fontmap is somehow messed up, or (c) your PostScript is badly formed. It may be possible to get GV to render it by turning off the -dNOPLATFONTS in GV's GhostScript options. If the PostScript is bad, you might be able to fix it up with one of the "fixps" utilities. -- Eric G. Miller <egm2@jps.net>
