RHBA-2011:0899 - ghostscript bug fix update
Synopsis
ghostscript bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated ghostscript packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The Ghostscript suite provides a PostScript interpreter, a set of C procedures (the Ghostscript library, which implements the graphics capabilities in the PostScript language), and an interpreter for PDF files. Ghostscript translates PostScript code into many common, bitmapped formats, like those understood by most printers and displays. This enables users to display PostScript files and print them on non-PostScript printers.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, the default paper size was selected in portrait orientation when printing documents in landscape orientation. Consequently, the output was printed in portrait orientation and the content was cropped on the right side. With this update, if the paper size matches in landscape mode, that paper size is selected and the landscape orientation is selected for printing. (BZ#710651)
All users of ghostscript are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
