This bug was caused by our patches for CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) support. As the CJK issues are treated upstream now, the patches will get dropped for our Ghostscript 8.64 package.

just in case this helps anyone debug, I noticed that the bounding box calculation is affected by the color value; if I draw lines with a white component, e.g. by '0.5 setgray' they get considered by the bounding box algorithm, whereas completely black lines don't make it... %!PS-Adobe-2.0 %%Creator: foo %%BoundingBox: 197 398 367 602 %%DocumentMedia: A4 595 842 0 () () %%EndComments /mainfont /Courier findfont 14 scalefont def mainfont setfont %%EndProlog %%Page: 1 1 0.0 setgray 250 450 moveto (Hello, World!) show 200 400 moveto 50 100 rlineto 0 -100 rmoveto -50 100 rlineto 3.5 setlinewidth stroke 0.5 setgray 260 550 moveto (Hello, World!) show 210 500 moveto 50 100 rlineto 0 -100 rmoveto -50 100 rlineto 3.5 setlinewidth stroke showpage %%Pages: 1 -- ghostscript's bbox driver gives wrong result https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160203 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 160203] Re: ghostscript's bbox driver gives wrong result
This bug has reappeared in more recent versions that I have tested in i386 and AMD64: 8.61.dfsg.1-1ubuntu3 and the one that comes with the beta release of Intrepid: 8.63.dfsg.1-0ubuntu4 I have compiled version 8.63 from the upstream sources, and it does not have this bug. The problem is that a lot of packages depend on ghostscript and its shared library, which makes it painful to have to recompile everything. David Munro has discovered a hack (including a -dSAFER option) but still, it would be nice to have a regular working version in Intrepid. -- ghostscript's bbox driver gives wrong result https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160203 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have just notice something strange. If in the test file example2.ps I remove the line that says %!PS-Adobe-2.0, the bug appears again: the file (see example3.ps attached) is recognized as PostScript, but the bounding box is wrong: ghostscript -sDEVICE=bbox -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH example3.ps GPL Ghostscript SVN PRE-RELEASE 8.61 (2007-08-02) Copyright (C) 2007 Artifex Software, Inc.

[Bug 160203] Re: ghostscript's bbox driver gives wrong result
Please report these two cases in new upstream bug report and post links to them here. Note that the %!PS-Adobe-N.M lines mark DSC compliance of a PostScript file (preparation sections and pages separated by special comments to allow page management). If this magic string (string in the beginning of a file to identify its type) is added to a PostScript file which is not DSC compliant, it can perhaps cause misbehavior, but I do not know whether this applies to GhostScript's bounding box calculation, so report the bugs upstream anyway. As it seems that the success of the boundary box calculation only depends on how the magic string looks like, use the correct magic string in the meantime. If you have very many PostScript or EPS files, let a script correct your magic strings. -- ghostscript's bbox driver gives wrong result https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160203 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
