I see this too. I get the following error when displaying the files with Ghostview: Error: /typecheck in --setscreen-- Operand stack: 6.01146 0.0 --dict:4/4(ro)(L)-- 4 4 Frequency 6.01146 Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push 1905 1 3 %oparray_pop 1904 1 3 %oparray_pop 1888 1 3 %oparray_pop 1771 1 3 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- %errorexec_pop .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- 1883 3 4 %oparray_pop 1821 3 4 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --dict:4/4(ro)(L)-- --nostringval-- 4 %dict_continue --nostringval-- Dictionary stack: --dict:1146/1684(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:128/200(L)-- --dict:286/400(L)-- Current allocation mode is local GPL Ghostscript 8.62: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 Program version: $ pkg_info | grep ghost ghostscript-gpl-8.62_2 GPL Postscript interpreter ghostview-1.5_1 An X11 front-end for ghostscript $ > I'll be investigating it further.

I don't know if evince uses ghostscript as a backend though. ps2pdf can't convert them also, it bombs out with the same error message as above. I'm running 7-STABLE if this matters. HTH, Philipp
