[Pkg-gmagick-im-team] Bug#536892: imagemagick: Lenny Convert of ps produces very poor results compared to etch

[Dan Poltawski]

Package: imagemagick
Version: 7:6.3.7.9.dfsg2-1~lenny1
Severity: normal


When running:
convert -density 240 -trim 5541633e01d193901189fa822bf058dc.ps 5541633e01d193901189fa822bf058dc.gif

On the attached ps file, the fonts and aliasing look horrible in comparison
to the same command carried out on the etch version of the package.

I assume this is related to:
  * Repackage upstream tarball to replace non-free fonts (Closes: #510751).

Please see attached ps input file and sample output files from etch and lenny.
Manually installing the etch package seems to fix the issue.

thanks for your work,

Dan Poltawski
