Ghostsript must be updated

[Anton Petrusevich]

After installing new Kubuntu 18.04 I got a font rendering problem when I print PDF directly from browser (chromium or firefox). I have to save PDF and print it from another program. I identified that the problem is in new Ghostscript version (9.22). There was no such a problem with Kubuntu 16.04 and ghoscript 9.18.

Details are there: https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699324

Thanks for reporting.

I've reassigned this bug report to the ghostscript package under "Affects".

There is also a regression in 9.22, see https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=698713. Updating to 9.23 would be very welcome.
