    hi,

    when I try to save this file:
    http://home.t-online.de/~fam.natter/prosper/LDCLogosm.gif
    as .eps (for inclusion in LaTeX-document), the resulting .eps
    looks unsharp:
    http://home.t-online.de/~fam.natter/prosper/LDCLogo.eps

    Using gimp I tried to save in indexed or rgb mode,
    no difference. I also tried imagemagick:
    $ convert LDCLogosm.gif LDCLogo.eps
    it gave the same results.

    When I try to embed the .eps in a LaTeX-presentation, it looks
    even worse (the white background is semi-yellow):

    (In case you don't see the problem I have uploaded a screenshot:

    I am also having problems displaying some pdfs with adobe reader 5
    (no problems with xpdf, gpdf or adobe reader 7).

    I am using debian testing weekly isos from 12/04.

    thanks,
