Hello,

Diego Nicola Barbato <dnbarbato@pos=
teo=2Ede> skribis:

 When converting certain PDF files to PostScript pdf2ps (from the
 Gh=
ostscript package) will print the following error messages:

    ****=
 Error reading a content stream=2E The page may be incomplete=2E
       =
         Output may be incorrect=2E
    **** Error: File did not complet=
e the page properly and may be damaged=2E
                Output may be =
incorrect=2E

sirmacik <sirmacik@wioo=2Ewaw=2Epl> =
skribis:

Unfortunat=
ely this is something that affects also printing from
pdfs=2E At this po=
int I can see what my printing result will look like
by opening it in GN=
U Emacs DocView=2E

Good news everyone!  Commit 466ff55c=
72959ba1499ce3ec69f534b3038eb30b
fixes it!  The next commit makes a graf=
t so that the working Ghoscript
is readily available to CUPS, etc=2E
=

It turned out that the primary issue was that Freetype was not found at=

configure-time, due to the lack of pkg-config=E2=80=A6  The commit abov=
e
improves a couple of other things in passing, but adding Freetype for<=
br>good is apparently the decisive change=2E

Please let me know if D=
ocView, pdf2ps, and CUPS and all right for you!

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=
