Hi,

I don't know if this sounds too sensible but... If we suspect there is a PS 
generation error, how about if (from using the same test document) Johnathon 
creates a PS file on his system (where we know it doesn't work correctly), 
David creates one on his (where the problem doesn't manifest), and then 
compare the generated PS files?

If they are the same, it rules out a postscript generation problem. If they 
are not the same then the differences in the files may give a hint as to 
where the problem lies.

Or am I being really naive about this?

(Incidentally, I've sort of got cvs figured out now, so once I figure out how 
to compile KDE3 without messing up my KDE2 installation, I'll be joining the 
party and start fixing bugs)
