For certain PDF files, text does not render in GS based viewers. The bug has 
been observed on Win XP (GSView) and Ubuntu (gv). 
A bug file is shared at https://share.acrobat.com/adc/document.do?
docid=c1f9bcd7-c3e8-4f9f-a8f4-b244e5533ff3. It was created by running OCR on a 
scanned document in Acrobat 9.0:
1. Open a scanned file and launch Document->OCR Text Recognition->Recognize 
text using OCR.
2. Click on Edit and select the PDF Output Style to be ClearScan.

Observations:
Win:
1. Open the bug file in GSView for Windows.
2. The file does not open. The messages log opens with the following text:

Current allocation mode is local
pdf_page failed

Ubuntu:
1. Open the bug file in gv.
2. All images render but the text does not.


Additional Information:
1. The file renders fine in other PDF Viewers like Adobe Reader and Apple 
Preview.
2. It looks like the GS Interpreter cannot handle the indirect object in 
entries like /Font/W[0 29 0 R]. A similar file in which 29 0 R is replaced 
with a direct array renders fine.
