Incorrect conversion eps to pdf with Font

[Patrick Gundlach]

Binary package hint: ghostscript

Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10

ghostscript:
  Installiert: 8.63.dfsg.1-0ubuntu6.1
  Kandidat: 8.63.dfsg.1-0ubuntu6.1

This is what I do on the command line:

gs -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dUseFlateCompression=false -dAutoRotatePages=/None -sOutputFile='image.pdf' - -c quit > gs_out 2>&1 < image.eps

The image "image.eps" is attached.

I expect to get a pdf (OK) with the image that looks like the eps file, but with a huge bounding box. Instead, I get a slightly different image (incorrect) with a huge bounding box (OK). There is an outline "C" behind the "mu" on the left side. I don't expect the outlined "C".

I tried a vanilla 8.63 ghostscript from this URL
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/ghostscript/ghostscript_8.63.dfsg.1.orig.tar.gz
compiled it and it worked OK.

I try to attach the original eps image, the boken pdf image and the correct pdf image.
