--Subject: Ghostscript-8.11 long full file name problem
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Symptoms:
I have come across a problem, which probably does not affect too many
installations, which seems to be connected with full file names when they
are greater than about 128 characters. In the case of a eps file
created with matlab everything works if I type
gs -I$GS_FONTPATH/ matlab1.eps

Where you got Ghostscript:
TeX Collection TeX Live and CTAN Edition 9/2003 DVD from Lehmanns
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hardware system you are using (including printer model if the problem
involves printing):
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operating system you are using: Solaris 2.5.1
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are using X Windows, and your problem involved output to the
screen, the output from running xdpyinfo and xwininfo:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
C compiler you are using, including its version, if you compiled
Ghostscript yourself: cc 4.2

If you compiled Ghostscript yourself, changes you made to the makefiles:
Minor, connected with getting vsnprintf recognised.

URL or FTP location of test files (include the data at the end of this

Suggested fix, if any:
Are there some fixed length character array bounds
that just need to be increased (I have had to do something like this
to get xdvi to work with t1lib fonts on our system)?
On the command line I can get things to work by typing
gs -I$GS_FONTPATH/ matlab1.eps
or by copying *.pfb files to the current directory.
When gs is used within xdvi to view a postscript imported into LaTeX
I do not have the option of controlling the order in which gs searches
for fonts and thus copying the *.pfb files to the working directory
is my only solution at the moment.
