In all three cases it shows the content of try.ps in a separated window. But evince fails to show try.ps when a locale is used where the decimal mark is a comma ',': -------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ export LC_ALL=C ; export LANG=C $ evince /tmp/try.ps [works o.k.] $ export LC_ALL=de_DE ; export LANG=de_DE $ evince /tmp/try.ps undefined -21 ... EvinceDocument-CRITICAL ... failed $ export LC_ALL=en_US ; export LANG=en_US $ evince /tmp/try.ps [works o.k] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This shows that evince somehow uses Ghostscript in a special way (perhaps indirectly via lipspectre) that triggers the issue because Ghostscript itself can show try.ps in any casae. I cannot reproduce that evince fails to show try.ps when a locale is used where the decimal mark is '.' I.e. for me the workaround using a locale where the decimal mark is '.' works. As far as I can reproduce it it is exactly http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693843 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 859554 *** -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
