>Description:
The two ghostscript ports, ghostscript-gnu and ghostscript-afpl,
do not work with cups/gimp-print. I have tested on both an
Epson Stylus Color 600 and an Epson Stylus C80. The fonts
are wrong in the output. It looks like a monospaced font is
being substituted for all fonts. The previous version of
ghostscript-gnu (7.05_5) works fine. I am not sure if there
is an incompatibility between cups/gimp-print and the newer
versions of ghostscript or if some problems were introduced in
the substantial changes that were made to the FreeBSD ports of
these two programs.
The problem can be seen by printing the cups test print page.
I am using gimp-print so I am not sure if the problem exists
with other cups backends. Another way to view the problem is by
printing a pdf document. There are probably other viable test
cases. Printing the same document with ghostscript-gnu-7.05_5 and
ghostscript-gnu-7.06 should clearly show the problem.
>How-To-Repeat:
Print the cups test page or a pdf document.
>Fix:
Not sure. There were substantial changes made to the ports'
structure.
