This displays fine for me.

GS Include path is:
C:\GS\gs9.00\lib;C:\GS\gs9.00\Resource;C:\GS\fonts;c:\psfonts

Out of curiosity, what CPU are you running?

I will do a build of 9.04 without the newer Pentium optimisation and send you a link to a replacement gsdll2.dll to see if I'm right, stay tuned

try replacing the version of gsdll2.zip from ghostscript 9.04 with the one in this archive: http://smedley.info/asavage.zip

Figgurs . . .

Though I haven't changed anything on this box in a long time, tonight GS 9.00 will load that file fine. Sigh.

Plain GS 9.04 loads it OK too.

And, unlocking gsdll2.dll and replacing it with the special version, *also* loads the file.

Sigh. Something changed, but I don't know what.
