I compiled GS 2.5.2 with gcc 2.2.2 (gcc -O2) on a Sun IPX and ELCs running SunOS 4.1.2. The problem only seemed to occur using Courier (an unfortunate choice of font for it to crop up in)... the text would smudge when drawing arcs. Everything else was fine, but any arcs drawn would smudge badly. It looks like an arithmetic error, as the smudge tends to stretch the letter outlines to form diagonals instead of curves. Recompiling with Sun cc avoids the problem (with cc -O2). -- Justin Mason <jm@maths.tcd.ie> -><- use <jm@iona.ie> for MIME mail
