[STR New]

I have a PDF file with some text which is clipped on the top, bottom and
right hand sides :
- when printing to Canon SP200SPx, 
- when converting to PS using pdftops, 
- when viewing the print preview in KPDF, or 
- viewing the PDF directly in kghostview.

Please see this ...

.... for sample PDF file, screenshots describing the problem, and some
confirmations on other machines.

I have also got some other persons to test this on other OS such as Suse,
with the same results.

One notable thing mentioned by Kurt Pfeifle, was that:
1) Convert PDF to PS using pdftops
2) View PS (contains the glyph clipping)
3) Convert generated PS to PDF using pstopdf
4) view PDF (shows no clipping problem)

So this could be a rendering bug of ghostscript, rather than something
wrong with the data in the PDF/PS file itself.


The very same PDF when printed using Adobe Reader software on Windows,
does not show the same problem.
