    Hi group,

    Since more than a week now, gv doesn't anti-alias my postscript files as
    beautifully as before: it uses less grays and more black. If I view my
    LaTeX generated dvi files they look just as beautiful as they ever did.
    This is irritating, since I use gv a lot. Since ggv also suffers from
    this problem, I think it is actually ghostscript which causes it.
    Furthermore, ps2epsi no longer resizes the bounding box of my graphics,
    while eps2eps somehow turns my scalable LaTeX fonts in bitmaps. Why? And
    gv doesn't seem to be able to render a lot of pdfs from the net
    correctly these days. Since I never required acrobat before this all
    started, I'm suspecting something is broken here as well.

    Personally, I think this is the most annoying glitch in sid for many
    months. Does anyone know if this can be fixed?

    David
