Public bug reported: 1) I am using Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS with all the updates.
2) Some other software versions that may be relevant: ghostscript 8.71.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5.3 evince 2.30.3-0ubuntu1.2 gimp 2.6.8-2ubuntu1.3 3 & 4) I have found that evince, openoffice and scribus incorrectly render or print to PDF certain EPS images (I have noticed this specifically with matlab figures), with certain straight lines being turned into strange dashed things. The eps figures are correctly rendered by gimp and appear correctly when transformed to PDF using ps2pdf, so the images themselves appear to be correct, but the underlying renderer used by some Ubuntu software (e.g., ghostscript perhaps?) appears to be incorrectly interpreting certain PS element. This is a real problem when PDFs are generated from scribus, for example.
