Next, ghostview. I took an example file, like http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/suse-cjk/vertical-orizontal-test.ps I verified that I can open this in my old SUSE8.2 and see all characters correctly. Next, I open it with gs as normal user in 9.3, from bash. The result are Mojibake and the messages: --- gs vertical-horizontal-test.ps ESP Ghostscript 8.15 (2004-09-22) Copyright (C) 2004 artofcode LLC, Benicia, CA. All rights reserved.

'/home/hisha' is weird!
I found that the problem is caused by the environment
variable GS_LIB. Apparently KDE sets it to
GS_LIB=/home/hisha/.fonts
If you unset this variable, ghostscript works again.
Therefore the problem doesn't happen if you don't use KDE and it also
disappears after 'su -' because then you do not have GS_LIB in the
environment anymore.
As a temporary workaround, you can add
unset GS_LIB
to your ~/.profile.
I'll check now out why KDE sets this environment variable.
