[bug-gs] Bounding Box computed by ps2epsi (gs -sDEVICE=bit) limited to letter size

[Justus H. Piater]

The BoundingBox computed by ps2epsi cuts off content at the boundary
of letter paper size.

This is GNU Ghostscript 7.07, Mandrake Linux 9.2 RPM, ix86, no GS_*
environment variables.

Suggested fix: Not sure. gs -sDEVICE=bbox uses a much larger paper
size (9000x9000 according to the docs), but if I specify
-dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=9000 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=9000 on the gs command
line in ps2epsi, the gs run becomes really slow (why,
btw?). Therefore, I suggest that a good solution may be for ps2epsi to
provide a way to pass user parameters to gs.


I could not check existing bug reports because
