According to some ghostscript upstream bug (I do not remember which bug it has been) reducing the value of "-dMaxBitmap" to some very small value is a good workaround, even better than disabling antialias.
This can be done in the window "State -> Ghostscript options". Feedback to the quality of this workaround is welcome. According to http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689734 this bug has been fixed in rev 12380 of ghostscript, and indeed, using Ghostscript 9.02 + patch 12380, the example file of this bug report is working as expected. (In case you may ask how to install that ghostscript: I did not do my tests with Ubuntu.) BTW: To disable antialias by default, the following patch will do - just in case you still decide to apply it (patching ghostscript seems to be more reasonable now that a patch is available): diff --git a/gv/src/gv_user_res.dat b/gv/src/gv_user_res.dat index 3d8de9c..9ea1473 100644 --- a/gv/src/gv_user_res.dat +++ b/gv/src/gv_user_res.dat @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ GV.orientation: Automatic GV.fallbackOrientation: Portrait GV.swapLandscape: False GV.autoCenter: True -GV.antialias: True +GV.antialias: False GV.respectDSC: True GV.ignoreEOF: True GV.confirmPrint: True I will not change the ntialias default in upstream GNU gv, as a bugfixed ghostscript is available. ** Bug watch added: Ghostscript (AFPL) Bugzilla #689734 http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689734 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/746600 Title: Anti-aliased X display mode of Ghostscript does not work, in gv anti- aliasing needs to get turned off therefore -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
