[gs-devel] Problem with ps2epsi

[Johan Vromans]

Hi,

Every once in a while I run into the problem that ps2epsi does not
generate a correct preview / bounding box. Apparently, some colours
are simply ignored as can be seen from this example:

----snip----
%!PS-Adobe
100 100 moveto
/Times-Roman findfont 100 scalefont setfont
0 0 0 setrgbcolor
(X) show
1 0 0 setrgbcolor
(Z) show
showpage
----snip----

According to 'gs -sDEVICE=bbox' the bounding box is (101 100 232 167).

According to 'ps2espi' the bounding box is (101 100 171 166), and 
the letter Z is completely clipped and missing from the preview.

Is this a known bug?
Is a solution planned?
Is there a workaround?

Thanks for the good work,

       Johan
