evince cuts off part of the text of http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/cstr/41.pdf.

[Marius Gedminas]

1. Download http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/cstr/155.ps.gz
2. Open it in Evince

Expected: you can read the text
Actual result: the right margin is cut off (see screenshot)

For comparison, opening the same file in gv lets me see the entire text (see screenshot).

This is still occurring on Ubuntu 12.04 "Precise Pangolin" beta 1. The right margin and the top margin are cut off, just like in the screenshot attached to comment #1.

Packages: evince 3.3.90-0ubuntu2

Evince cuts off part of the text at the top and right side of the document at
http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/cstr/155.ps.gz

The probem also occurs with the zathura document viewer, which also uses libspectre to render .ps files.

See attached screenshot.

In the GNOME bug at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671645 it is also reported that "In both evince and zathura I get the following error code:
GPL Ghostscript 9.05: Error: Font Renderer Plugin ( FreeType ) return code = -1"

Opening the same file in gv shows the entire text.

The original bug report is at

As the comment above suggests, I've now reported this bug upstream at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47980

Ignore the GNOME bug I referred to in comment #4.
