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.
