Robin_Watts I think I finally understand why gs collects group alpha too. And what it means.00:53.28 
mvrhel_laptop aha. I was able to duplicate the windows 7 issue on windows 8.1 by specifying a windows 7 theme in the xaml resources. this will make it easy to fix everything to look decent.05:12.01 
  figured out the link crash too05:17.14 
seik0 Hi everyone.08:26.31 
  I have a point of misunderstanding, at least came here. I can't understand, why when in file.ps I put font, for example, NimbusRomNo9L-Regu, ghostscript, in fact, prefers /usr/fonts/type/gsfonts/n021003l.pfb instead08:28.41 
  in fact, it is right font to choose08:29.01 
  but i can't understand why it happens, because i have /usr/share/ghostscript/9.10/Resource/Font/NimbusRomNo9L-Regu08:30.05 
  anyone?11:20.24 
Robin_Watts seik0: You probably want to ask again this time tomorrow.11:41.00 
henrys seik0: not going to be around long did you read about the "Fontmap" in the docs?13:02.48 
seik0 +henrys: I did, mainly about font lookup14:40.34 
henrys seik0: I have to leave now I'll be back later - did you look at gs -h and see what search path is being used?14:45.54 
seik0 +henrys: from that, if I understand right, if type1 fonts are in some fontmap file, and "core" NimbusRomNo9L-Regu is NOT, then ghostscript will prefer former14:46.39 
  +henrys: gs -h shows both directories14:48.10 
  +henrys: and with further study I learned, that on some systems gsfonts add /etc/fontmap.d/10gsfonts.conf file14:49.59 
henrys seik0: sorry before I asked you about fontmap because I thought RomNo9L was builtin.14:50.00 
seik0 +henrys:what does mean "builtin"? hardcoded?14:50.34 
henrys seik0: part of the resident font set "the adobe 35 fonts" gotta go. You'll get better service on a weekday ;-)14:51.31 
seik0 +henrys: and 10gsfonts.conf contains kind of mapping for those additional fonts from package14:52.18 
  +henrys: ok, i'll try )14:52.22 
  +henrys: btw, Nimus is builtin in that way, but withour needed for me cyrrilic support, and Nimbus from gsfonts supports cyrrilic glyphs14:53.53
