[Gs-devel] GNU Ghostscript 6.53 release

[mpsuzuki at hiroshima-u.ac.jp]

Dear Mr. Ralph,

Please let me commit 2 fixes before official release of gs-6.53.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) gschar0.c mistake by me
    When I (mpsuzuki) commit a patch for nesting composite font
    Message-Id: <7A5ACBAE-0578-11D6-8B70-003065C7E9C2 at telus.net>    
    to gschar0.c, I had a mistake.

   363                      int code;
   364  
   365                      /*
   366                       * When decoding an FMapType4 or 5, the value
   367                       * of chr is modified; when an FMapType9 (CMap)
   368                       * composite font is used as a decendant font,
   369                       * we have to pass the text including a modified
   370                       * chr. Check whether chr has been modified, and
   371                       * if so, construct and pass a modified buffer.
   372                       */
   373                      if (*(p - 1) != code) {
   374                          byte substr[MAX_CMAP_CODE_SIZE];

   "code" on line 373 (uninitialized!) should be "chr".
   This mistake by me exists only in GNU branch.

(2) return value fix of gsfcmap.c & zfcid0.c
   reviewed and got permission already for GNU branch, but
   I forgot to commit it while waiting for permission to main trunk.
   Message-Id: <CCCDF428-DF78-11D5-855E-003065C7E9C2 at telus.net>

----------------------------------------------------------------------

(3) "min" and "max" problem

    Message-Id: <200111220817.RAA27354 at hiroshima-u.ac.jp>
    and sourceforge bug #508081, still "min" is used in
    library files and sometimes it conflicts with sucked
    Japanese PostScript program using "min" as a name of
    "Mincho" font.
    Rewriting all "min" & "max" to ".min" & ".max" will
    introduce some troubles?
