Ghostview 1.5 with Ghostscript 5.50 on a Solaris box defintely HAS the
problem.
GV 3.5.8 (the usual version) with Ghostscript 5.10 does also have the bug.
Ghostscript 3.33 was unable to read my test file at all :(
Maybe GV and ghostview are incompatable with newer versions of
Ghostscript? More test cases from anyone?
And to all readers on lyx mailinglist too:
- One solution is to use "ps2ps" (comes with ghostscript), but the
resulting Postscript file is horrible. (ps2pdf followed pdf2ps
produces the same horrible Postscript file)
- Better way is to convert it to, say, JPGs, rotate them, and view with
Xv.
- The best way so far is to use "ps2pdf", open the file in Acrobat Reader,
and use "print to file" in acroread.
I will try if newer version of xpdf could do the pdf->ps conversion
(0.5 was unable to read the pdf file).
