Version 8.71 (2010-02-10)

This is the second release in the stable 8.7x series. It features improved handling of fonts, nesting and color fixes with transparency objects, reduced memory footprint for the halftone cache, as well as improvements to the pxl output devices, and the usual number of bug and robustness fixes.

New in this release is an experimental project file for Microsoft Visual Studio. This wraps the normal nmake build, and makes it easier for developers to get started building Ghostscript with that compiler.

Support for tiff file output is now provided using the libtiff implementation rather than our more limited native code as in previous releases. There is also a new 'tiffsep1' output device which produces halftoned separations at 1 bit-per-pixel, in contrast to the 'tiffsep' device which produces 8 bit-per-pixel plates.

Support for using FreeType as a type rasterizer has been greatly improved. We do not recommend its use as of this release, but it is much more functional than previously and our intent is that it will become the default in a future release.

The graphics library has been updated to provide more accurate scan conversion of vector art including fixes to dash behavior, transparent stroked paths, thick stroked paths, radial shadings, xps cap handling, "pie" joins, degenerate beziers, improved handling of dropouts in thin strokes and better thin axis-aligned strokes.

Update Visual Studio solutions to use the DEVSTUDIO= form of makefile
invocation, rather than MSVC_STUDIO=8 version. This should isolate the
solution/projects entirely from the version of visual studio in use.

Simplify the ReadMe.txt file accordingly.

Take the opportunity to add the resource files to the list in the
ghostscript.vcproj file. This makes no difference to the project in
terms of building, but enables easy navigation/editing of files
within VS.

Fix (pdfwrite) bug #691101 (part 2 of 2)

The revisions 10474 and 10476 were intended to address an indeterminism but actually
introduced a fairly serious regression. The code was changed to return any error value
from the glyph_info method before testing the members of the 'info' structure passed to
the method. Previously one of the member could be examined when an error had meant that
the member was still uniinitialised.

However, these revision missed the fact that the glyph_info method can return a
'rangecheck' error when they require a CDevProc to be executed. Because the error code
was tested before checking for a CDevProc, the pdfwrite code never executed the
CDevproc.

This resulted in a (very) few regressions, this is because the PDF interpreter uses
a CDevProc to alter the widths of glyphs if a /W array is present in a PDF file.

The code now initialises the member of the structure to 0, which we then test before
checking the return code. If we need to run a CDevProc we now do so.

Part 2 of this commit explains some further issues with CDevProcs.

Fix (pdfwrite) bug #691101 (part 1 of 2)

The revision 10603 fixed a number of issues relating to FontMatrix and descendant fonts
of CIDFonts. However part of the fix, in CIDWProc, used 'currentfont' to address the
font dictionary instead of 'currentdict', as is done in the rest of the routine.

For rendering devices this works well, but for pdfwrite the two dictionaries are not 
the same, and this causes PostScript errors.

This error was initially hidden by the revisions 10474 and 10476 which inadvertently 
caused all CDevProc routines not to execute when using pdfwrite.

This patch alters the CIDWProc to use currentdict instead of currentfont, there are no
differences with rendering devices but with pdfwrite this causes the CDevProc to 
execute properly, eliminating a number of errors (when the faulty revisiions 10474
and 10476 are rolled back)

Changed MaxStripSize for TIFF devices to default to 8 KB.

This is necessary, because libtiff keeps a whole strip in memory at a time,
which resulted in very large buffers for big files.  Support of MaxStripSize for
all TIFF devices which didn't have it before was also added.

Added a new option to clusterpush.pl: lowres.  This option can appear
anywhere on the comand line and signals the local cluster regression to
only run lowres (72 and 75 dpi) output, for example:

  clusterpush.pl pcl lowres

or

  clusterpush.pl lowres "gs pcl" henrys

Note that this will fail if we ever hire an engineer with the name lowres
or use that as an internal product name.  Also, there currently aren't
any 75 dpi baseline md5sums for the pcl product, so until the next pcl
svn commit it doens't make sense to run with this option.

Also added partial support for generating bitmaps with changes and running them through bmpcmp.

[psi/zfapi.c]

2010-01-28T14:32:52.354649Z Ken Sharp

Fix (FAPI)

Bit complex here. The FAPI code needs to tell the font rendering engine how much to
scale the font in order to get properly sized bitmaps. It does this by looking at the 
FontMatrix, comparing it with the 'original' FontMatrix and determining the scale from
there. 

The problem is that the 'original' FontMatrix was being retrieved from a copy of the 
font stored when it is defined, intended for use by pdfwrite. When we define a font we
check to see if it has an /OrigFont entry, and simply use the one which is present if
we do.

This causes us problems if we make a new scaled font by taking an existing font and 
changing its FontMatrix. We don't write the new FontMatrix into the OrigFont dict, and
so when we come to determine the font scale we divide the FontMatrix by the 'original'
stored matrix. This effectively results in any scale factor built into the FotnMatrix
being applied twice, once by FreeType because the FontMatrix isn't the default, and 
once by the FAPI when it divides the FotnMatrix by the original.

I didn't want to modify the OrigFont entry, as that would probably break pdfwrite, so
I've modified the FAPI code to take a copy of the FontMatrix at the time the font is
defined and store it in its own structure. We then use this to determine how much to
scale the font by dividing the current FontMatrix by the matrix at the time the font
was defined.

This fixes my hand-crafter test file and improves the output of Bug687615.ps and 
two_encodings.ps. The output is now the correct size, but the spacing is wrong in 
bug687615.ps and many glyphs are missing from two_encodings.ps.

Introduce new gs_currentdevicecolor function (and inline macro version) to
retrieve the current device color from the graphics state. Use this in the
2 places in pl that require it. This restricts all the knowledge of the
way colors are stored in the graphics state to being within the gs code.

This is done as a precursor to the work to support 2 color's in the graphics
state to enable a branch to be taken on gs only.

Regression tests predict 128 changes, but local testing with htmldiff.pl shows
none.

"cups" output device: Reallocate memory for raster data only if the size of the bitmap has changed, to avoid data getting messed up by unneeded reallocation. This should finally fix bug #691029.

[cups/gdevcups.c]

2010-01-22T09:01:28.663933Z Ken Sharp

Fix (pswrite)

The pswrite device only partially implemented the 'file per page' output model. It
closed the output file and the bbox device, but did not open a new output file or
reopen the bbox device, leading to potential crashes later when the pswrite device
tried to access the bbox device.

This patch reopens the bbox device, and opens a new output file, at the end of every
page when we are outputting one file per page. The problem is that this will emit an
empty EPS after the last page is completed. Fixing this would mean delaying opening the
output file until we had received a marking operation. That's more work than we want
to do on this device, so this is being left as an issue.

This commit is a fix for bug 691021 which had quantized (unsmooth) shading artifacts when transparency was present.

The primary changes to the code are:

The adaptive (non-fixed) smoothness method is now used in the shading code when transparency is present.  Previously there was a check put in place and if there was transparency a fixed amount of smoothing was enforced.

The color cache used in the shading code was updated to use the color information in the transparency device that is contained in the imager state.  This object is initialized with either the target device when there is no transparency or with the PDF14 device when there is transparency.  In this way, the proper color information is used by the cache.

The shading code makes use of the member variables comp_shift and comp_bits in the color_info member variable of the target device.  This information is now properly updated in the PDF14 device as the transparency group color space changes.

A clist change was also required for proper XPS rendering of gradients.  When it has a gradient with a transparency component, the XPS code first creates a soft mask group and draws the alpha shading.  It then creates a transparency group to draw the color components portion of the shading.  When the transparency group is popped, is is composed using the soft mask buffer which is the XPS opacity shading.  When we are going through the clist writer, the writer will end up drawing the shadings for both the opacity component and the color component with trapezoid fills.  Later, during the clist reading and execution of the trapezoid filling, a clipping device is created.  This device is created with the color info properties of the target device, which in our case is a PDF14 device.  The clipping device is first created during the soft mask group.  This group has color information associated with a grey device since it is just a single channel (the XPS alpha channel).  Later, the same clipping device is used when we are doing the trapezoid filling during the transparency group fills.  The problem is that the color information of the target device may have changed, for example if the transparency color group is RGB or CMYK.  We need to test for that and update the color info for the clipping device. 

There are several regression test files that are affected by this commit.  I looked at all of them. Changes appear to be progressions or visually unnoticeable.  Files are

Attempt to fix bug 691030, regression with thin lines. This regression was
caused by revision 10391, where I pulled the rectangle special cases into
line with the more general case. Sadly, the more general case appears to be
wrong in the way it rounds lines lying on integer values.

The fix is to correct the rounding in the general case, and to keep the
rectangle special cases in line with this. Unfortunately this produces
unacceptable results with the PCL interpreter.

We therefore commit a compromise solution, whereby we make the code do the
'correct' thing (or what we believe the correct thing is) for postscript,
and leave operation alone for the other languages. We spot this by examining
the fill_adjust values. This seems to works, with the minor problem that we
still see some changes in PCL due to it sometimes using non-zero fill_adjust
to thicken lines. A visual check shows the diffs to be reasonable.

Expected Differences: MANY. But extensively checked with htmldiff and they
seem OK.

Move ghostscript.vcproj from win32 to gs directory, and adjust solution file
accordingly. This serves 2 purposes; firstly, the solution now correctly
supports tag jumping (that is, the ability to click on a warning or error
and jump to that line in the file). The second is that the ghostscript
project now lives in the ghostscript directory, and hence may be usable by
people wanting to build *just* ghostscript, rather than ghostscript as a
component of GhostPDL.

Update ReadMe.txt to reflect this change, and document a known problem.

No expected differences.

Addendum to revision 10615. Use the *y* scale factor for computing the vertical character
advance, not the x scale which the previous commit used. Also note that the text of the
previous log said:

"as a parameter to zchar_set_cache to set the horizontal advance"

That should, of course, read vertical advance.

Fix (FAPI - FreeType). The current FAPI implementation for FreeType ignores any vertical
advance defined in a glyph. This causes type 1 glyphs defined with an sbw (not hsbw) 
which have a vertical advance as well as, or instead of, a horizontal advance to not
advance the current point correctly.

There is a separate issue with FreeType which does not return the correct vertical 
advance which will be addressed in a separate patch.

This patch adds the vertical advance to the metrics structure and uses it as a 
parameter to zchar_set_cache to set the horizontal advance in GS for the glyph.

Fix (FAPI). The code to 'serialise' a CFF font (that is to convert the internal GS
representation back to a stream resembling a disk font) was seriously broken when writing
a local Subrs DICT.

The offset to the Subrs DICT is stored in the Private DICT as an offset from the
start of  the Private DICT. This means it depends on the length of the Private DICT,
but the Private DICT includes that offset, so the length of the Private DICT is
dependent on the size of the offset (CFF integers use between 1 & 5 bytes depending
on their value).

The normal method for dealing with this is a process of refinement; assume that a 1 byte
representation will suffice, calculate the size of the DICT, see if that size can be 
represented in 1 byte. If not assume a 2 byte representation, recalculate the size
of the DICT, see if it can be represented in 2 bytes and so on.

It looks like the code was intended to do this, but it was in fact seriously broken
and ended up incrementing an integer for size of DICT until it became negative, and
then stored a negative (and incorrect) offset to the Subrs.

Replaced the code with a simple for loop surrounding a switch.

Fix (pdfwrite) Bug #691058 "Incorrect embedding of CIDToGIDMap for CIDFontType 2".

Previously we would embed a CIDToGIDMap for a CIDFontType 2 font (TrueType outlines) if
the font had a non-identity CIDToGIDMap, or if we were producing PDF/A output.

However the spec (PDF 1.7, Section 5.6, "Glyph Selection in CIDFonts') says that we
should *always* embed a CIDToGIDMap if the font is embedded, and never if the font is
not. 

This patch modified the CIDToGIDMap production so that we ignore the production of PDF/A
files, and instead check whether the font is being embedded. If it is being embedded
then we create a CIDToGIDMap, if it is not, then we don't.

Bug #691044 ""

Another problem caused by a corrupt compressed data stream, resulting in garbage data
being sent to the TrueType interpreter.

Caused when the TT interpreter is given an argument of 0 to the MINDEX operator. Rather
than flag this as an error I've chosen to simply return. This is because it seems that
a value of 0 is actually legal (stupid, but legal), and simply leaves the stack
unchanged.

Changes to the MSVC makefiles to prepare for the prototype vs2005 solution
file. Firstly, we introduce an SBR symbol; if this is set when invoking the
makefile, we add a new flag to the C compiler (held in SBRFLAGS) to cause
the generation of the browse data for each source file. Next, we introduce a
new bsc build target to combine those .sbr files into appropriate .bsc ones.
The final change is enable debug builds to put their builds into debugobj
rather than obj directories.

With luck, this should cause no differences for anyone other than me.

2010-01-07T10:31:53.862753Z Ken Sharp

Update the example file. The old file used a single 'charpath pathbbox' to determine the
height of the text. It then used the 'scale' operator to draw larger text.

If the path was fixed to pixel boundaries, and the point size was low (default 15
points) this could lead to a small error which was magnified by the cumulative scale
operations.

This led to significant differences when using the FreeType font code, as it seems to 
return a hinted path which is bounded by pixel co-ordinates, unlike the regular GS
code.

The altered code scales the font and recalculates the height of the text each time
giving more accurate results. In addition a minimum size has been introduced (50 points)
for the calculation of the text height. Together these result in much closer output.

Fix bug #691043 "Vulnerability report : Ghostscript gs_type2_interpret null ptr
dereference (Segmentation Fault)". The problem appears to be caused by a corrupt
compressed data stream which results in garbage font data being sent to the type 2 and
under some conditions the type 1, font interpreters.

As noted these font interpreters are normally coded to be intolerant of faults, and
do not normally perform much error checking. As a result badly formed (or as in this
case, garbage) fonts can cause serious problems.

Although the null dereference is the cause of the error, this is actually caused by
interpreting the data as a font, and decrementing the font instruction pointer below
the bottom of the instruction stack. 

The patch here adopts the suggestion from the original bug reporter of checking the
pointer before the dereference, but in addition adds some checking when the
instruction pointer is decremented to see that it does not descend past the bottom of
the stack. This is because tests showed that it was possible to reach this point with
a non-NULL pointer, which was still invalid and caused a segmentation violation.

In addition the free_glyph routine has been modified to check the pgd (pointer to 
glyph data) parameter is non-NULL, and that its 'procs' member is non-NULL, before
attempting to call the free procedure. This fault was exposed by selecting the pdfwrite
device.

Although improved this is not a comprehensive fix, there are other locations where the
font instruction pointer may be incremented past the top, or decremented past the
bottom, of the instruction stack. However the FreeType font interpreter correctly
detects the problems without causing a crash, so I don't think we should expend too
much effort on rewriting our current font code to cope.

2010-01-04T09:27:21.029560Z Ken Sharp

FreeType interface fix. When using the incremental interface to FreeType (which in fact
we always use), Ghostscript is responsible for locating and passing the glyph
description data to FreeType, and so we don't bother to track certain kinds of data
in the FreeType structure.

However, even when using the incremental interface, FT still tests some of this data, in
particular it tests the requested glyph index against the reported number of glyphs
in the font, and aborts if the index is too large.

This patch simply sets the num_glyphs member of the FT_face structure to a large number
(65534) so that the internal FreeType test is successful, and we don't have to bother
with the record-keeping that would be required to keep this member updated when fonts
change.

Update the arguments passed to ghostscript by htmldiff.pl so that they

DETAILS

localcluster uses "-dNOOUTERSAVE -dJOBSERVER -c false 0 startjob pop -f"

The use of -dJOBSERVER changes the output given for some of the ps3cet files
due to having different stack contents at the outer level.

This seems to eliminate most of the differences between htmldiff results
and local cluster results. Those that remain seem to be caused by differences
in the output of devices (htmldiff uses bmp, wheras the localcluster uses
pgm/pbm/etc).

One minor point; the use of -dJOBSERVER is defined in doc/Use.htm
to require input to be supplied via stdin. I originally wrote the code to
do this, but it seems this gives problems on Windows for some files
(for reasons that are beyond my comprehension at this time). Accordingly,
I've swapped back to supplying the filenames on the command line and
everything seems to be fine.

If this presents a problem on platforms other than windows, simply
edit the value of $redir as shown at the top of the file and redirection
will be used. If this turns out to be necessary, it may be possible to
automate this.

changes restricted to a single row or column as not being changes at all.

DETAILS:

This resolves most of the differences between the results given by htmldiff.pl
and those given by the regression cluster. Some remain, but they are due (I
think) to a) different invocations of ghostscript, or b) differences in
device output (pgmraw vs bmp16m).

DETAILS:

The clist buffer management mostly checked the amount of data in the buffer

plus the current pointer and compared to the limit. If this overflowed
the register, then the sum was less than the (unsigned) limit pointer.

Fix (FAPI) : Handle Type 42 fonts with CharStrings dictionaries with real PS glyphs

Details
The FAPI code regarded a Type42 font which contained a CharStrigns dictionary where the
contents of the dictionary were not simply integers but actual glyph descriptions to be
an invalid font. Regular Ghostscript, Jaws and Acrobat Distiller happily accept such
bizarre fonts and correctly render the glyphs in them, even the PostScript ones.

Fix (FAPI) : Ignore some TrueType faults

Details
The file Bug689516.pdf contains TrueType fonts with problems, one of the fonts has 
multiple fatal errors:

1) GLYF and LOCA tables contain more than NumGlyphs glyphs, and some of these
glyphs are used.
2) At least one glyph uses more points than the declared maxPoints value.
3) The FPGM is invalid.

Acrobat ignores these but elides the glyphs with problems, GS's internal TT rendering
engine issues a warning and also elides these glyphs.

Modified the FreeType FAPI code to catch certain classes of error and emit slightly
different, possibly slightly more informative, warnings, and continue, ignoring the
faulty glyph(s).

Fix (FAPI) : empty glyphs causing problems after revision 10434

Details
As noted by SaGS in the thread for bug 690448, the revision for 10434 does not 
properly cater for 0 length glyphs, and instead makes such glyphs the same as the next
(in GLYF table) non-empty glyph.

Also as pointed out by SaGS, the glyph length is already calculated so we don't need to
repeat the performance with the LOCA table anyway. Modified the code to use the 
pre-calculated glyph lengths instead of recalculating them incorrectly.

Fix (FAPI) : FAPI code not expecting unsorted LOCA/GLYF tables

Details
The FAPI code needs to copy the GLYF data, to do this it needs to know how long the 
data is. The only way to do this is to consult the LOCA table which gives the offset
to each glyph in the GLYF table. Subtracting the start of the glyph from the start of
the next glyph in the GLYF table gives the length.

The existing code assumed that the GLYF (and therefore LOCA) tables was ordered, that is
that glyph 1 followed glyph 0 and so on. There is no such restriction, glyphs can
appear in any order, so the simple subtraction caused incorrect glyph lengths, which
could lead to truncation of the data and caused errors.

We now pick up the offset of the glyph we want from the LOCA table, and then search the 
entire table to find the glyph whose offset is nearest (but after) the offset of the
glyph we want.

Right now, the PDF14 device will always include CMYK.  A future optimization is to be able to NOT have those included in the bufferallocations if we don't specify them.  In that case it would then be possible to output 8 separations at a time without using compressed color.

updating begin_image and fill_mask to cope with white/black+transparent

Apparently not all black/white+transparent uses the copy_mono code path, which
has been recently updated to do white-on-mask. There are two other ways
black/white+transparent can pass through pxl - in begin_image() (as part of an
RGB/Gray image with an alpha channel) which is most of the files in bug
690947, and fill_mask() which has no known cases yet.

Note the new addition to fill_mask() and begin_image() is not identical to that
in copy_mono() in the case of the drawing color being white - fill_mask() and
begin_image() both try to draw white on the blacks of a black/white mask and
transparent on the white, whereas copy_mono() draws white on the white and draw
transparent on the opposite (set to black but really transparent), so the
source is inverted in fill_mask() and begin_image() compared to copy_mono().

glyphs appears as black. This patch set the ROP3 operation to paint through

Fix (FAPI) : invalid fonts resulting in errors

Details
The files Adobe Garamond CE.pdf, Bauhaus CE.pdf and Futura CE.pdf alll contain subset CFF
fonts, and use the same (ecaron) glyph. In all three cases the font uses the deprecated
'SEAC' endchar construction and in all three cases at least one component glyph is not
present in the font.

Probably the producer didn't realise the component glyphs were required amd did not 
include them in the subset.

As a result the FAPI code properly rasied an error, sicne the required glyph is not 
presemt. Adobe Acrobat (of course) ignores the error and simply elides the missing 
glyph. Regular Ghostscript has at some time been coded to do the same and emit a 
warning.

For compatibility this 'feature' has been implemented in  the FAPI interface.

Fix (FAPI) : intermittent crashes with TrueType fonts

Details
The sfnts reader code in the FAPI module maintains a pointer to a string from an array
of strings (the /sfnts array). It then used the offset member to point along the string
to the current byte within it. When reading multiple bytes, it checks there is
sufficient data by checking ptr+offset against the size of the string. However the code
did not increment the offset member after reading multiple bytes, instead it incremented
the actual pointer. This completely bypassed the size checking, which could cause a
crash depending on the memory layout. This was only likely to happen with fonts with
very large TrueType tables (ie those not conforming to Type 42 recommendations
regarding string sizes, see tech note 5012)

Altered the code to always increment the offset rather than the pointer so that size
checking works properly.

Fix (FAPI) : Incorrect GID supplied to font interpreter for CIDFonts with TT outlines

Details
CIDFonts use a CID, for CIDFonts with TrueType outlines the font contains a CIDToGIDMap
entry which is used to convert the CID into a TrueType Glyph ID (GID). We were not using
the data, which resulted in us passing the CID directly to the font interpreter, which
caused the wrong glyph to be extracted, or failures to occur because the GID was larger
than the number of glyphs in the font.

The type 42 font code in GS converts the CIDToGIDMap into a CIDMap entry, we now use
this to convert the CID into a correct GID for the font interpreter to use.

Fix (FAPI) : CIDFonts not working with fonts containing a CDevProc

Details
When calling zchar_set_cache we always used the glyph name as one of the arguments,
this argument was later pushed onto the stack for use by a CDevProc if required. The 
problem is that with CIDFonts the name is always a null object and we should actually 
be supplying the CID to the procedure.

Modified the call to zchar_set_cache when we have a CIDFont to supply the CID instead 
of the name

Fix for bug 688655: stroking of wide curves with high curvature would
previously have left strange effects under the curve, and had nasty
flattening artifacts on the outside of joins.

Here we alter the stroking logic to spot that line segments come from curves
and we render using round joins both above and below the curve.

This gives us correct rendering of tests/ps/jointest.ps for the first time.

This causes about 4000 diffs. I've generated a huge number of them locally
and they all seem to be the odd pixel changed do to rounding. Where differences
are larger I've convinced myself that the difference is correct.

Fix for segfault reported in 690880 with separation devices. The is_open flag
was not being properly maintained when put_params resulted in a target device
closing due to DeviceN color state changing.

DETAILS:

The check in zputdeviceparams relied on code > 0 or the width or height change
in order to determine that the device needed to be reinitialized. The put_params
forwarding needed to check if the target device closed (such as when DeviceN
parameters changed) and return code=1 to trigger the device reinitialization.

Also the forwarding of close_device needed to make sure and set is_open=false
if it called the target device procedure directly instead of using gs_closedevice
(which takes care of this detail).

This parameter sets the compression scheme of the resulting file and can take
the values 'none', 'crle', 'g3', 'g4', 'lzw', and 'pack'.  crle, g3, and g4
only work for 1-bit devices.  For tiffsep, it sets the compression scheme of
the separation files, the composite cmyk file is always saved uncompressed.

Libtiff supports many more compression formats (e.g. jpeg, deflate).  Adding
them to this implementation is trivial.

Fix (pdfwrite) : problems with type 3 fonts and glyphshow

Details
Bug #690738 "pdfwriter garbles/omits glyphs"
Bug #690836 "Bug during eps to pdf conversion"
Bug #690882 "ps2pdf mangles type 3 fonts"

Revision 9804 modified pdfwrite to try and make text in type 3 bitmap fonts, derived
from PCL input, more likely to produce a PDF file with searchable text. Part of the 
change was to try and group multiple glyphs together into a single string instead of
emitting them as single glyphs.

Unfortunately that was an optimisation too far. There is no way currently to tell the
difference between a type 3 font which has been converted into a bitmap, one which
started as a bitmap, and one where the CharProc has been captured (PostScript). We do
however store bitmap and outline glyphs in different fonts, the problem arose if we
converted a CharProc to a bitmap, and then stored a CharProc, the code did not realise
that we had switched fonts and tried to use the bitmap font for both.

This occurs because matplotlib defines all its fonts as type 3, applies an Encoding 
to them, but never uses it, instead showing all glyphs with a glyphshow operation.
This makes it difficult for pdfwrite to assemble an output type 3 font with a valid
Encoding, and PDF doesn't support glyphshow. In this case if we find that the glyphshow
uses a glyph which is not in the font's Encoding (eg /multiply) we end up producing a
bitmapped glyph instead.

Ideally we would capture the CharProc, but doing so would be very difficult in this case
for a very minor benefit. Instead I've chosen to remove this optimisation.

Previously we would emit text something like:

x y moveto
(ABC) show

Now we do:

x y moveto
(A) show
x1 y1 moveto
(B) show
x2 y2 moveto
(C) show

There seem to be no differences in the test suite with PostScript and PDF files, 
probably because no files apart from matplotlib use glyphshow in this demented fashion.
However, this does result in a large number of PCL test files exhibiting very small
differences with text, especially at low resolution, due to tiny shifts in position.

Fix for segfault reported in bug 690927 and two of the segfaults of bug 690880.

DETAILS:

The pdf14_compressed_encode_color (and _decode_) assumed that the device was
a pdf14_device and directly accessed the devn_params using that structure offset,
but when filling gradients the device was the target device (a gx_device_printer
subclass) so the pointer was wrong.

The primary change is in base/gxblend1.c and uses the device's ret_devn_params
procedure (if possible). If the proc is NULL, or if it returns NULL, then and
only then use the devn_params structure assuming that the device is a pdf14
variant (usually pdf14cmykspot or pdf14clistcmykspot).

A check for this is performed in DEBUG builds in case this expected invariant
is ever violated. In order for the check to be made simpler, the names of all
of the devices were changed to all start with "pdf14" (some were PDF14).

Fix for Bug 690531, excessive slowdown while rendering a complex stroked
path with anti-aliasing.

The problem is caused by the gs filling code grinding to a halt under the
weight of an extremely complex path produced by stroking an already complex
path and then filling it all at once.

This change can be seen as a workaround in that it does not change the
filling code at all (this may be considered in future after the freetype
changes have gone in), but instead adds a new mechanism for stroking that
produces (broadly) equivalent strokes which happen to fill more easily.

Replace only the initial definition of the gs executable
in the script wrappers.

It is possible to change the name of the compiled gs executable; this is
generally used to distinguish multiple installed versions. In r5212 a
sed command was added to the unix build scripts to rewrite the name of
the gs executable embedded in the various wrapper scripts so that they
would call the corresponding version.

This was broken in r8107 where an extra clause was added to have the
wrapper scripts prefer the gs executable in their local directory
over any in the path. Unfortunately the sed command rewrites both
attempts to set GS_EXECUTABLE.

This commit only rewrites the specific assignment of the default name.

Fix (TT font substitution) : Incorrect Widths applied to CIDFont glyphs from PDF file

Details
Bug #690876 "Spacing issues with mixed asian/roman characters"

The PDF interpreter applies the /Widths array from a PDF CIDFont by applying a custom
CDevProc to alter the width of the glyph before it is cached. This procedure relies
on the CID of the glyph being correct, as this is the index into the Widths array.

This works correctly for genuine (embedded or from disk) CIDFonts. However, if we use
a disk-based TrueType font as a substitute for a missing CIDFont, the integer which gets
passed into the CDevProc routine is the TrueType glyph ID (GID). This is because the
CID from the CIDKeyed instance must be converted into a GID for us to consult the font.
Using the GID instead of the CID results in incorrect widths being applied.

This conversion happens in PostScript and the original CID is not available at the time
CDevProc is executed.

Since this only affects substitution of fonts its arguable that the CDevProc is useless
in its original intent anyway. 

This patch detects a CIDFont being replaced by a TrueType font by checking the font
type is type 11 (CIDFont with TT outlines), that the font dictionary contains a key
called /File (has been read from disk) and that the font_name and key_name strings
are different (substituted font).

In this case we ignore the CDevProc routine, and simply use the original widths from 
the TrueType font. The widths won't be the same as requested by the job, but then 
neither are the glyphs. For this job, because the widths of the TrueType glyphs are
sensible, the result is an improvement in the output.

Fix (TT fonts) : regression with TrueType fonts

Details:
Bug #690642 "conversion to PDF aborts after 800 pages"
Bug #690921 "Regression: /invalidaccess in --run-- starting with r9897"

The patch for #690642 was an interim fix which was known to have flaws and was supposed
to be revisited to fix them. Unfortunately a file appeared which exhibited an attempt to
put a key in a read-only dictionary before this was done.

This patch resolves both issues by removing the need for a temporary key (hence we no
longer write into a read-only dictionary) and also removes some ugliness (and slight
performance penalty) by not creating a dict from the stack, patching the dict, and
loading its contents back to the stack.

Bug fix for Bug 688604, "incorrect rendering of a returning curve".

The code currently in ghostscript checks for the bbox of a beziers control
points being of zero width/height and to avoid a division by zero just chooses
not to subdivide this curve. This is wrong in some cases.

The fix here is a cheap and cheerful one; in the case where one dimension is
zero and the other isn't, we basically do the same calculation as would be
done in the two dimensional case, but just with a one dimensional distance
as input.

This causes various diff; all look good in my tests.

Libtiff 3.9.2 is included in the source tree as tiff/.  It is possible to link
to the system's libtiff by passing --with-system-libtiff to configure.  Passing
--without-system-libtiff will force the build to use the in-source version. By

silent two compiler warnings for casting from const to non-const introduced by r10313

[base/gdevpx.c]

2009-11-11T14:53:05.840060Z Hin-Tak Leung

partly reverting r8576, and other file-size improvements.

After r10313, it becomes possible to revert r8576 (which was
a work-around to bug 688992, but increases file-sizes in some cases). 
It is also found that r8576 is in fact more efficient for 
small rasters; so it is only partly reverted. In two other places where
write_image_data() is called, switching to gx_default_copy_* for single-line
images/masks is likely to work well also. 

This fixes bug 690857, where 12-07C.PS uses a lot of 1-bit images,
and shrinks the file size by a factor of 4. 

There are a total of 4 places where write_image_data() is called
(copy_mono/copy_color/fill_masks/image_write_rows) - the 4th does
not use the data_bit field, nor is it likely to be called
with small rasters; so it is left unmodified.

caching SetPen/SetBrush Null calls

For some test files (the PS3 CET set), the pxlcolor/pxlmono code
emits a lot of setpen/setbrush nulls. There is no need to set it again
if the printer already got a previous setpen/brush null. So this patch
caches the null/non-null state of both pen and brush in the
driver and not re-issue set nulls if the last set was a null.

This only gives about 5% file size saving for the test file I wrote it
for. Part of the fix to bug 690857.

purge cached palette whenever color space changes.

The current pxlmono/pxlcolor code caches colorspace and palette calls
and not re-transmitting them if it hasn't changed since the last time
they were set. Whenever the color space changes, the current palette
should be purged, and a new palette should be (re-)transmitted to
the printer the next time an indexed colored image is sent.

Fix (pdfwrite) : type 0 fonts with type 3 descendants could confuse pdfwrite by using
stringwidth

Details
Bug #690875 "Ghostscript locks up writing PDF file"
There is code in gdev_pdf_text_begin which skips caching of type 3 glyphs when using
stringwidth. This prevents glyphs becoming bitmapped and ensures that pdfwrite and
the glyph cache are coherent.

The code did not check for composite fonts using type 3 descendants. In this case if a
job used some glyphs for stringwidth, then later used at least one of those glyphs and
one glyph not previously encountered in a single string pdfwrite would enter an
endless loop.

pdfwrite would notice that a glyph was not marked as 'used' in its internal cache, and
exit pdf_text_process to run the outline for the first glyph. GS would note that the
first glyph was already cached (from the stringwidth) and move on to the next glyph.
GS would render that glyph, pdfwrite would capture it and mark that character code as
used.

On returning to pdf_text_process the first glyph should be marked as used now, but it
was not, so pdfwrite would once again exit and the loop would repeat.

Fixed by checking string using composite fonts to see if any glyph used a type 3
descendant, and disabling caching if it does.

Adobe Acrobat considers the use of clip operation on new path a no-op.
Check this and don't clip when there's no path. Bug 690891.

DETAILS:
Besides the change in clipping, this patch reverts the code that preserves
current point position after fill operations and interferes with new path
detection. Reverted code predates source control and its purpose is not clear.
Perhaps, it was an attempt to avoid nocurrentpoint errors, which are now
trapped and handled.

Fix for bug 690890. We always use the CPSI_mode version of the gs_strokepath
code (when executing strokepath or ustrokepath postscript operators). This
means we better match acrobat.

This frees us to optimise the non CPSI_mode version so as to produce simpler
stroked paths with the same outlines. This should allow us to be faster in
the non strokepath cases.

This is the initial commit of the 'tiffsep1' device code that emits
separation files as 1-bit per pixel TIFF files, a separate file for
each separation. This is a CMYK plus Spot color device, and the
number of separations (spot colors) supported depends on the gdevdevn.h
setting of USE_COMPRESSED_ENCODING. By default this is true as long as
the sizeof(gx_color_index) is >= 8, so up to GX_DEVICE_COLOR_MAX_COMPONENTS
layers can be generated (current default 64). Without compressed color
encoding, then only 8 total (C, M, Y, K and 4 spot colors) can be
supported.

Files are named with the separation layer in ( ), e.g. x(Black).tif if
the OutputFile is 'x.tif'. Since no composite CMYK is generated, the
base file is deleted ('x.tif' in the example).

DETAILS:

This device uses a hook of the 'fill_path' device call to collect the
threshold arrays from the imager state. In case a file does not perform
a 'fill' operations, the gsdevice.c code does a dummy fill of an empty
path to allow the 'sep1_fill_path' code to convert the 'order' into
threshold arrays.s

The 'open' and 'put_params' device functions are modified to make sure
that if the clist device is being used, the 'sep1_fill_path' proc will
be re-hooked (the clist initialization overwrites some procs including
the 'fill_path' proc). The sep1_fill_path then forwards to whatever
fill_path proc was set by the gdev_prn_open or put_params.

A later commit will move the 'thresholds_from_order' function to another
common file (probably gsht1.c) and change it to generate a threshold
array of type 'gs_threshold_halftone' with NULL transfer and closure
functions. This function is in gdevtsep.c now since it is the only
device that needs it (for now) and development was easier with all
changes more or less localized (at least non-trivial ones).

The make files are modified so that the 'tiffsep1' device is included
by default (where the tiffsep device is included).

The actual halftoning is done using 32-bit writes of the dithered line
since testing showed this to be 27% faster (although more complex).

Note that the compressed color encoding (the current default) is about
half the throughput compared to direct encoding. Users that are sensitive
to performance (who isn't) and that only need 8 or less total colors
(CMYK plus 4 spot colors) will want to turn compressed color encoding
off.

SetCursor), which use SetpageScale to make path co-ordinates fit within 
16-bit. In so doing some paths can become inaccurate if one of the
points are not large; so SetPageOrigin is used to shift to one such point
before the scaling. This is the last part to fix bug 690858 and bug 690860 .

DETAILS:

The compressed color encoding always uses 64 bit (sizeof(gx_color_index)).
The (num_components * 8) is not the correct depth (number of bits) for color
encoding in the clist. This patch detects (at run time) that compressed
color encoding is using by examining the 'my_encode_color' procedure since
there is no direct way to determine if compressed color encoding is being
used.

Fix for bug 690831.

The test file uses a radial shading, where the final circle almost contains
the initial one, with 'extension' at the end selected.

Our code incorrectly fills the final extended circle, causing us to wipe out
all the correct fading we've done to that point.

The fix is to recognise whether we are moving 'inwards' or 'outwards', and only
to fill in the 'inwards' case.

This fixes the original issue, and causes no visible regressions.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Unchecked return value from pdf_write_spot_function

Details
Bug # 690796 "Invalid Halftone objects in PDF (negative object references)"

Two fixes, firstly the return value from pdf_write_spot_function() was not being
checked in pdf_write_spot_halftone. We now check the value and return an error if
required.

Secondly when unable to write a spot function because of the num_bits required we were
returning a rangecheck error. This was hidden by the failure to check the return value
noted above. The problem is that rangecheck is a special case return when called via
gdev_pdf_fill_path() and causes it to assume transparency is involved and use a
different fill method. We actually want an error so instead of returning rangecheck
we no return limitcheck instead.

Reintegration of gs_extendgraphic branch into trunk.  This fixes bug690777.pdf.  The main purpose of this commit is to relay information about q and Q operations (extended graphic state push and pops) to the pdf14 compositor.  The reason this is needed is that the softmask is part of the extended graphic state.

DIFFERENCES EXPECTED:

Bug688807.pdf has a minor progression.  Bug688159.pdf and Bug689509.pdf also reported differences but I could not see any using cmpi.  Also, we may need to take a look at the XPS output.  It was unclear to me which were regressions and which were indeterministic.

DETAILS:

The following example (as well as bug690777) drove the need for this commit.

Consider a transparency group that covers an entire page and let there be a 
soft mask that is set as part of a graphic state.  Let there be 2 bands in 
this clist and let the soft mask bounding box be such that it intersects band 
1 and band 2.   Currently, there will be  a Push Transparency Soft Mask and an 
End Transparency Soft Mask compositor action added into the clist for BOTH 
bands.  Now, let there be a transparency group that is drawn only into band 
one. There will be a Push Transparency group and End Transparency group into 
band 1.  Now let there be a Q followed by a transparency group that is drawn 
only in band 2.  What should happen, is that the soft mask should no longer be 
present due to the Q operation.  Unfortunately, in the current architecture, 
there is no compositor action to let band 2 know that the soft mask is not 
valid to use.

Another example is a case were we set a graphic state with a softmask, which 
will introduce the Push Transparency Soft Mask and an End Transparency Soft 
Mask compositor actions.  Follow this by a q operation. Set another graphic 
state, with another softmask.  This introduces another Push Transparency Soft 
Mask and an End Transparency Soft Mask compositor action.  During the clist 
reader stage the maskbuffer for our pdf14 context will be the last soft mask 
that was specified. Now on the writer side do a Q and draw.  What should occur 
is that the first transparency softmask should be active.  Unfortunately, this 
information is not communicated through the clist AND the old soft mask buffer 
has been lost.

The primary issue in these examples, is that we need to detect and store in 
the clist graphic state changes that occur and have an impact on our 
transparency state.

To solve this problem, the following is proposed:

1) At the PDF interpreter level for the /q and /Q operators, check if the page 
uses transparency. If it does, then execute a .pushextendedgstate for /q and 
a .popextendedgstate for /Q.

2) Add zpushextendedgstate and zpopextendedgstate commands in the c code. 
These operations will respectively execute a gs_push_transparency_state and a 
gs_pop_transparency_state during the clist writer process.  Deep in the 
graphics library there will also be gx_push_transparency_state and 
gx_pop_transparency_state.  These are executed during the clist reader side.

4) Two new device procedures were added related to the transparency state.
(push_transparency_state and pop_transparency_state).  These were added at
the end of the device procs for backward compatibility with older devices.

4) A change to the pdf14 ctx stack such that the maskbuffers are a 
stack.   In fact, they are now reference counted since they can be multiple
copies (actually pointers to the same data buffer) in the mask buffer stack.

5) A flag xstatepending was added to the graphic state to communicate when a softmask transparency
group pop had occurred.  In that case, we need to keep track of the q and Q 
operations.  Otherwise, they are ignored early in the process to reduce the
number of compositor actions.

In addition fixes were made to the background content handling (BC) of the soft mask.
Now the softmask bounding box is the same as the parent group unless the BC value
is white which would indicate that the BC will not have any effect on areas drawn outside
the softmask group bounding box.  Changes were made in the code that computes the band range for the 
softmask group.

Fix for bug 690805.

If a dash pattern exactly fits into the path to be stroked, a 0 length dash
note is emitted, with (0,0) tangents. This causes an extra cap to be put on
the path when rendering, causing stray marks.

The fix is to recognise the case when we are about to emit a dash note with
no useful information in the note (i.e. if udx and udy are 0, then don't
emit the dash note). This leaves the renderer free to make it's own decision.

Examination of the bitmaps shows that all the differences are in fact
improvements. The following files are identified by the localcluster as
being differences, but no differences are found in local testing:

Fix (ps2write) : Allow use of /Indexed colour spaces in PostScript output.

Details
Although opdfread.ps has always contained code to handle /Indexed colour spaces,
ps2write has never emitted any. This is because it is always executed with a PDF
CompatabilityLevel of 1.2, and PDF 1.2 doesn't support Indexed colour spaces.

PostScript, however, does and it seems unreasonable to deny the use of these spaces
when we are emitting PostScript.

This code checks to see if we are emitting PostScript when comparing the compatibility 
level to see if Indexed spaces are allowed, and permits /Indexed for PostScript.

This change did, however, expose a number of flaws in the opdfread code when handling
Indexed spaces. These are all due to the fact that an Indexed space can use an existing
space as its base, and this can lead to multiple attempts to resolve or flatten the 
underlying space.

FunctionToProc is altered to check it has been passed a function dictionary to convert
and to ignore the operation if not.

SubstitutePDFColorSpace allows for CIEBasedA and CIEBasedABC spaces, which may be the
result of a prior substitution.

ResolveArrayElement checks the element to see if it is passed a procedure containing
an integer followed by a procedure, before executing the procedure. This is because a
colour space which has already been resolved may have a procedural look up and 
executing that disturbs the stack.

DecodeArrays generated an incorrect Decode array for Indexed colour spaces.

Fix (ps2write) : Pattern colour spaces broken

Details
The CheckPattern routine in opdfread.ps insisted that a Pattern should contain a /Type
key in the pattern dicitonary and a value of /Pattern. The spec says this key is
optional and GS does not write it. This meant that all Pattern colour spaces failed
when checked by opdfread, and therefore the output of ps2write did not work.

The code now checks if a Type key is present before checking its value, and does not
fail if it is not present.

Fix (ps2write) : Problem with TrueType /.notdef encoding

Details
Bug #690809 "ps2write problem with some TrueType fonts"

When building a CharStrings dictionary, to map from glyph names to GIDs, the code would
start by correctly encoding /.notdef at GID 0. However the InverseEncoding path through
the code could then re-encode /.notdef at a different GID. This could lead to the file
failing to work.

Now check the glyph name and, if it is /.notdef, do not re-encode it.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Undo escapement of PostScript strings when writing XMP metadata for
PDF/A

Details
Bug #690471 "Parantheses escaped in xmp metadata"

Technically this is covered in gs/doc/ps2pdf.htm under -sDSCEncoding which states that 
the default behaviour is simply to copy the data directly to the file with no
translation.

However it seems unreasonable not to at least undo the PostScript escapement which we 
must have in order to set the PostScript string and which will cause PDF/A
verification failures if we don't.

Modified the default case (which does not convert to Unicode) to undo the escapement
only.

Fix (pdfwrite) : The PDFACompatibilityPolicy switch was being overwritten by PDFA on
setpagedevice

Details
Bug #690803
The PDFA switch is stored in the page device dictionary, and the device member is reset
from the stored setting on each setpagedevice. This was defeating the 
PDFACompatibilityPolicy setting which tried to disable PDF/A production when the input
could not be converted to a compliant PDF/A file.

Because the PostScript value is subject to save and restore, its all but impossible to
alter the PostScript saved value. So added a new device member 'AbortPDFAX' which can
only be set from C. This is set when non-compliant input is detected and prevents the
emission of (currently) PDF/A file (may add PDF/X in future). It does this by resetting
the device PDFA member every time the device parameters are set.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Improve symbolic font detection

Details
Bug #690767 "Problems with PDFA"

Revision 9944 altered the way that we detect whether a font is symbolic or not. This 
involved several changes; fixing existing broken code, adding /.notdef detection and
attempting to check encoded positions of glyphs before deciding a font was non-symbolic.

The encoding position test was incorrect for TrueType fonts, however, leading to some
fonts being needlessly declared as symbolic. This patch moves the encoding test to the
font descriptor assembly, which is the correct place to test it.

While this resolves the customer issue, it is not a complete solution. A truly symbolic
TrueType font would still be written as a symbolic font and when creating PDF/A files
there are strict limitations on the form of TrueType fonts. In particular they must only
contain a single CMAP table. Because we do not completely generate TrueType fonts for
embedding, but copy some tables, we cannot meet this restriction.

This will continue to be a potential problem until the TrueType font embedding code is
rewritten properly.

Fix for segfault when peekstring requests more data than remains in a
%rom% file. Bug 690697.

DETAILS:

The EOFC was not being set correctly, so a subsequent operation would have
cursor.r values that were invalid. Refer to the invariant in the documentation
in stream.h for the stream_s structure:

     s->position represents the stream position as of the beginning of the
     buffer, so the current position is s->position + (s->srptr + 1 - s->cbuf).

Note that we must not return EOFC when reading exactly the remaining number of
bytes in a file since this will result in the stream being closed. PCL relies
on the stream remaining open after reading the number of bytes in the file.

Improve EOF detection with the romfs iodevice. Fixes a segfault
loading shorter resources. Patch from Alex Cherepanov, bug 690697.

Details:

Resources are loaded using the --run-- operator, which looks into
the first 1023 bytes of the file to check for PDF, etc. It calls
.peekstring which uses s->end_status to detect the end of the file,
but s_block_read_process() didn't set it, allowing repeated reading
of the same block and the file position to run off the end of the
buffer. This was the cause of the segfault.

We now use '>=' instead of '==' when checking the file position to
avoid the overrun, and raise the EOF flag when the last block of the
file is read. This can be done because the whole block is always
decompressed and copied to the stream buffer.

Bug 690770 for customer #1110. Thanks to Michael Vrhel for analyzing the PDF
to find the area that the PDF interpreter was mishandling.

DETAILS:

The ExtGState is kept as values in the dictionaries on the dictstack and are
sent to the graphics library as needed using '.set***alpha' operators. The
CA and ca values were properly set to 1 in the graphics library when the Do
operator was used to execute Form or Image objects, but the corresponding
FillConstantAlpha and StrokeConstantAlpha values were not being set in the
ExtGState so any operations in a Form that set the values in the graphics
library from the ***ConstantAlpha values in the ExtGState could set them
to incorrect values.

Fix (type 1 parser) : Correct logical flaw in SEAC parsing

Details
Bug #690720 "Regression: pdfwrite generates bad pdf files from PostScript files"

The Type 1 font routine to detect SEAC (Single Encoding Accented Character) glyphs and
return the component glyphs, 'gs_type1_piece_codes' made a faulty assumption that a
SEAC glyph was purely composed of two components and that any glyph with a path
construction operation could not be a SEAC.

This restriction is, unfortunately, not documented in the spec. The Genoa test file
16-10.ps includes a font with SEAC glyphs which also contain path construction
operations. The failure to properly detect the SEAC was causing pdfwrite not to emit 
the component glyphs when subsetting fonts, resulting in PDF files containing invalid
fonts.

Fixing this then revealed that the reduced type 1/type 2 font interpreter used for
detecting SEAC glyphs did not properly handle a number of type 2 instructions. This
patch also adds support for hstemhm, vstemhm, hintmask and cntrmask. 

Because we do not have a full featured CFF parser in C yet, it was not possible to add
full support for the callgsubr operator (global subroutines are apparently not available
to the reduced interpreter). If the relevant gsubr contained the endchar for the glyph,
then this causes the interpreter to fail as we cannot process the subr.

Since SEAC operations are deprecated in type 2 fonts, and a gsubr completion of a SEAC
is extremely unlikely, I've chosen to return when a callgsubr is encountered and treat
the glyph as not being a SEAC. This may need to be revised in future.

Remove an unncessary keyword substitution flags from the Adobe CMaps.

These files don't have an RCS/SVN version header, so the substitution
could only cause problems. In the case of the two Identity-UTF16 CMap

reduced the substitutions to just the 'Id' keyword to match the rest of 
the source.

Fixes 690719 and many other unreported issues associated with the
wtsimdi device.  The default strip_copy_rop musn't be used, the clist
code will constant fold raster operations before determining if a
contone buffer is needed to render the band, the same optimizations
must be used when the clist is being played back and rendered, the
default strip_copy_rop does not (by design) have these optimizations.
I don't know the intent of the cryptic comment above the section where
the procedure override occurred.  

There are too many problems with the wtsimdi device to enumerate code
test file differences of the change, preliminary visual testing of the
wtsimdi device output is needed first.

Call paperinit() and paperdone() when using the libpaper api calls
as apparently required by the API. However, these calls do nothing
in the current libpaper implementation (version 1.1.23).

Also, return the name given by defaultpapername() if systempapername()
does not return a result. This is an indicated path in the libpaper
documentation and example code, although again, the the 1.1.23
implementation calls defaultpapername() from systempapername() as
the fallback.

Fix for bug 690534.  

DETAILS:

We now handle the softmask BC entry properly.  This background color is to be composited with the drawings into the softmask.  We now properly initialize the softmask buffer to have this compositing occur.  If we are outside the softmask bounding box then the luminance of the background color is used as the softmask value.  This fixes several rendering issues.

A fix for the rendering issue that occurred with bug 689581 after fixing the rangecheck error.  This should fix 689581.

DETAILS:

The rendering problem is evident when rendering the simplified file in 689581.   When going to a sep device, the softmask gray scale image is encoded using the compressed encoding function defined for the pdf14_CMYKspot_procs pdf14 device.  The decoder for the CMYKspot device is set to cmykspot_pdf14_procs.  Unfortunately, when the color procs are set for the softmask decode (based upon the softmask CMYK color space) the decoder was set to cmyk_pdf14_procs which resulted in an improper decode of the color values for the softmask.  The fix is to detect the presence of the separation case and make sure that the decoding procs are assigned appropriately.

DIFFERENCES EXPECTED:

None in the normal regression tests.  There could be some differences with sep devices when processing softmasks.

Pass the full CFLAGS to CCAUX in the autoconf build, instead of just
GCFLAGS. This propagates target-defining options which are typically
set in XCFLAGS to build utilities so that, for example, -m32 results
in the correct sizes in arch.h.

Note that this may complicate cross-compiles. In theory CCAUX has
separate, simpler flags because of this, but there are also several
examples in the documentation of using XCFLAGS this way, so this
seems to the the safer approach at this time.

The dynamic flags for the separate x11 devices module are also
passed through XCFLAGS but they do not harm other than cluttering
the command line.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Write ToUnicode CMaps with 2-byte code space ranges and keys

Details
Bug #690722 "Problem with the font embedding logic"

The existing ToUnicode CMap code wrote a ToUnicode CMap the same as a regular CMap, so
the code space ranges and keys could be arbitrary lengths depending on the number
of codes and their values. This appeared to be correct per the PDF Reference and the
CMap specification.

However, buried in technical note 5411, the 'ToUnicode Mapping File Tutorial' is a 
single reference:

"the following “codespacerange” definition, without exception, shall always be
used: 1 begincodespacerange  <0000> <FFFF>endcodespacerange"

This means that ToUnicode CMaps must be treated specially to ensure that they always
have 2 byte code space ranges and keys.

Modified the single allocation of ToUnicode CMaps so that it always specifies a 2
byte range.

Simplify / reduce the ht rendering logic to remove the special cases where
the cache had 1 level per tile (which should now be the usual case) and the
case where there is only one tile (which means that the tile is 1Mb).

The special case handling of these cases does not result in any performance
improvement with the modern (1Mb) cache size and thus this is a code
simplification.

[base/gxht.c]

2009-08-19T06:00:39.095541Z Ray Johnston

Adjust ht cache allocation to a size that will actually be used by the
cache logic. The changes allow for replicating tiles along the width axis
up to a ulong multiple that optimizes tile blitting in the mem device
logic. Addresses bug 690693 by reducing the memory used from > 1Gb to
< 200 Mb. As noted in the comments to that bug, there still may be some
optimizations remaining.

DETAILS:
Reduces the allocation from over 1Gb for Special Test C1 of 09-40.PS to less
than 200Mb by reducing the ht cache size to what will actually be used. The
code in gxht.c initializes the cache limits the 'rep_count' to 8*sizeof(ulong)
so any more than that per tile (1+width*height) will not be used.

Debug code in gxht.c (gx_ht_init_cache) to check:

   if ( rep_count != (8 * sizeof(ulong)) )
       dprintf("non_optimal ht cache size\n");

never detected a different value, so the ht cache size should be optimal
with this patch -- neither too much nor too little allowed for the most
efficient width repetition. This was tested at a variety of resolutions from
72 to 1600 with several files that defined screens and also checked with
'stocht.ps' that the maximum ht cache size was chosen to fit. Also the cluster
regression shows no differences (I'd have been surprised if it did).

Note that the above test is _not_ part of the patch since it was only used for
evaluation.

Since the eexec operator specifies that one never reads more than 256 bytes
ahead, and since the pad bytes are given in the text portion of a .PFB file,
in hexadecimal, there is no need to go to extra lengths to avoid reading
(too far) past the end of the eexec data. Thanks to Paul Vojta and Ray

Fix (pdfwrite): Writing invalid numbers for linecap and linejoin parameters

Details:
bug #690691: "setlinecap"

pdfwrite was emitting the linecap and linejoin values directly from the graphics
state to the output PDF file. However the GS graphics state also supports the
additional PCL linecap and linejoin values, which are not supported in PDF. This
resulted in PDF files with illegal values.

Modified the code to replace tringle linecaps with round linecaps, triangle line
joins with miter joins and none joins with bevel joins. These are not correct but
are reasonable solutions for now. We should degenerate 'none' joins into a 
sequence of discrete paths.

Also added future protection by converting unknown values of linecap into butt
line caps and unknown values of linejoin into miter line joins. In both cases
a debug warning is emitted.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Embedded TrueType fonts not correctly flagged as Symbolic

Details
Bug #690688 "-dSubsetFonts=false produces incorrect PDF file"

The method Acrobat uses to select glyphs from TrueType fonts is arcane and dependent
on the setting of the Symbolic/non-symbolic flags. When we subset a font the encoding
is always created incompatible with StandardEncoding, and so we mark the font as
Symbolic.

However, if we embed the entire font, we try to decide if its symbolic or not. To do
this we check the names of all the used glyphs to see if they are in StandardEncoding
and if they all are we start by assuming the font is *not* symbolic (there are other
checks).

However, there were a number of problems with this check. Firstly the reverse encoding 
which is used to do the work does not contain the .notdef glyph, which *should* have
meant that all fonts were incorrectly marked as symbolic. The only reason it didn't
is because the return value from the routine gs_c_decode was checked against 
gs_no_glyph to see if it failed to match. But gs_c_decode actually returns GS_NO_CHAR
in this case.

So the test was incorrect, and never correctly detected that a glyph was not in 
StandardEncoding.

The test is also insufficient, in addition to being present in the font, the glyph must
also be encoded at the correct position in StandardEncoding, the font in this job 
contains glyphs whose names are all in StandardEncoding, but they are not encoded at the
normal positions, so the font *should* be marked symbolic.

This patch skips the test for the .notdef glyph, correctly checks the return value
from gs_c_decode, and adds the test against the encoding position.

Fix for bug 690670.  Softmask color space was incorrectly getting set to DeviceN when the color space was undefined for the group and the output device was a separation device.

DETAILS:

For a transparency group, this method is OK as we blend the individual channels as defined in the PDF spec.  For a mask, this is not OK, since we have to map to luminosity and the mapping from the process + spot colors to luminosity is not defined.  Solution is to use the concrete space of the current space of the imager state for the softmask for this situation.

  "Valid memory pointer used create a tile_clip device instead of

Unfortunately the tile clip device is created on the c stack and
should not get a non null memory pointer.  Later in gxcht.c this same
device memory pointer is used to get a gs id, maybe this was the real
motivation for the change.  We now use the device halftone memory
pointer and the device is initialized with a NULL memory pointer as
expected.

Update changelogs and open bug numbers for 8.70 final.

[doc/History8.htm doc/News.htm doc/Details8.htm]

Version 8.70 (2009-07-31)

This is the first release in a new stable series of Ghostscript releases. The GhostPDL release number has been set to 8.70 as well, to make it easier to identify corresponding releases.

This release fixes a large number of issues with transparency, especially as it interacts with color space conversion, mask contexts and patterns. There have also been a number of significant fixes to font handling, especially when generating PDF. And there are numerous robustness, correctness and performance improvements.

New generic Esc/Page devices, eplmono and eplcolor were added to the contrib directory. A new cdnj500 device was added to support the HP DesignJet 500.

The licensing of the Free version of the core Ghostscript code has been changed to GPLv3 or later. Previously, the core code was GPLv2 only. Ghostscript can now be used with GPLv3 applications, and can no longer be used with applications that are GPLv2-only.

Incompatible changes

The size of PostScript integers has been limited to 32 bits. Previously they used the C long type resulting in 64 bits of precision on LP64 systems (like Linux on x86_64). As of this release all platforms match the recommended implementation limits in the specification.

Work around problems with XInitImage and large rasters.

Patch from Russ Cox, fixes Bugs 689547 and 689561.

Details:

The patch sets bitmap_pad, and passes 0 for bytes_per_line in
cases were current xorg can correctly generate a value. Russ writes:

I have tracked down the problem, and it appears to be a bad interaction
between
gs and recent sanity checking in the X library.

In particular, sometimes x_copy_image in gdevx.c gets called with wide
widths but narrow raster values.  Even though the raster is apparently
wrong, the X graphics operations would work okay with that value.  But
new versions of X11 have various checks in XInitImage, one of which is
that the raster is greater than or equal to the width of the image times
the depth.

To see that this diagnosis is correct, replacing the call to XInitImage
with a call to _XInitImageFuncPtrs (which is just XInitImage without the
sanity checking) makes gs start working.  But of course
_XInitImageFuncPtrs is not a public interface function and thus probably
not the best fix.  Replacing the "bytes_per_line = raster" with
"bytes_per_line = 0" (which makes X compute the value from width and
depth) works fine in the zoom levels that would otherwise crash but
causes the previously-working zoom levels to shear the image (or worse),
presumably because the "obvious" raster is not the right one at those
levels.

Also, the new XInitImage also requires bitmap_pad be set always.

The patch below also fixes the problem -- I can run "gv pprof.ps" at all
zoom levels, and I can also zoom into regular documents.

Perhaps it is not the right fix -- perhaps the actual bug is that
x_copy_image is being called with a bad raster value in the first place.
But it does work.

Fix (pdfwrite): Excessive redefinitions of CIDFonts causing memory exhaustion

Details:
bug #690642: "conversion to PDF aborts after 800 pages"

When instantiating a CIDFont with TrueType outlines, the TrueType interpretation code
tries to name the font using the name table from the TrueType font. If there is no name
table (as is the case for CIDFonts with TT outlines) it instead uses the XUID as the
name.

The XUID is incremented on every use, this means that each time the font is instantiated
(up to once per page when the job is PDF) we create a new CIDFont with a new name.
pdfwrite is unable to determine that these are all in fact the same original font, and
creates many fonts in the output file, eventually leading to memory exhaustion.

This change creates a new key in the current dictionary '/PDFCIDFontName', while
processing a CIDFont with TrueType outlines for a PDF file, which is the same as the
CIDFont BaseFont name. Since PDF can only have one descendant font per CIDFont this
should not cause name collisions. To avoid interference with PostScript the key is
removed from the current dictionary after use.

In the TrueType interpreter, if we are handling a CIDRFont then after loading the TT
tables we check to see if /PDFCIDFontName is defined. If it is we use it to replace the
/FontName and /CIFontName values. This means we only ever create the font with a single
name, which avoids the confusion with pdfwrite.

With this change pdfwrite only emits a single font and, usefully, it has the same name
as the font in the original PDF file.

Add bounds checking to various icclib functions.

Based on a set of patches by Jan Lieskovsky at Red Hat,
addressing CVE-2009-0583 and CVE-2009-0792.

Details:

Various _get_size and _write methods in icclib 2.01 were vulnerable to
integer overflow from corrupt or malicious profile data. This commit
makes a number of changes to address this.

First, it enforces bounds checking on array indicies generated through
tag data lookup or floating point calculations, either throwing an error
or clamping, depending on the context.

Second, it converts a number of malloc(nelement*size) calls into
calloc(nelements, size), passing responsibility for overflow control
to the standard library. This works on recent glibc, MacOS 10.4 (at
least) and MSVC 2005 (at least; I believe MSVC 6 doesn't check for
overflow). Systems which overcommit memory allocations generally also
lazily zero pages, so the performance implications of an overflow in
calloc() resulting in a huge allocation (or the same happening at the
request of corrupt or malicious ICC profile data) are not as bad as
might appear relative to the original malloc(). From the other side,
multi-processing systems must often zero pages delivered to malloc
anyway to prevent information leakage.

On top of Jan's patches, this commit uses a fallback for SIZE_MAX, a
stdint.h define which isn't available on all platforms (notably MSVC),
and changes a number error message to match the malloc->calloc changes.

It fixes a serious bug where the new error checking code incorrectly
rejected valid profiles with an MLUT but no black point tag.
icc_get_luobj() always tried to load the black point tag, and if it
wasn't found, icc_read_tag() would set an error flag, which was later
picked up in icmLut_read() by the check added for the results of
icmLut_get_size(). Since the black point tag is optional, and icclib
already substitutes a default (0,0,0) black point if none is contained
in the profile, we just reset the error condition within
icc_get_luobj(). vtm2k.pdf is a good testfile for this issue.

Likewise, the length of lookup tables was limited to 100 points, as a 
resource consumption constraint, but the spec allows LUTs with up
to 255 points. Bug690495.pdf from the regression suite triggered
this problem.

Thanks to Michael Vrhel for these last two fixes.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Incorrect table in /Unicode /Decoding Resource

Details
Bug #690648 "many incorrectly encoded Latin Extended-A characters"

The job in this issue contains a subset incrementally downloaded TrueType font where
the Encoding is such that the first glyph encountered is encoded at character
position 1, the second at position two and so on. In addition there is no
GlyphNames2Unicode dictionary.

pdfwrite tries, whenever possible, to write a ToUnicode CMap into the output PDF file
which allows Acrobat and other consumers to copy and paste text using Unicode values.
Since there is no Unicode information in the file, and the Encoding is distinctly 
non-standard, we fall all the way back to using the glyph names as a last ditch
attempt to generate the Unicode information.

This relies on the /Unicode /decoding resource, it seems that many glyphs in this
resource were (and possibly still may be) encoded at the wrong Unicode code points. 
This patch fixes the glyphs raised in the bug report, there may be others.

The commits provides proper transparency support for fills with patterns that contain transparency. This is a merge of the pattern_trans branch into the trunk. 

DETAILS:

When a pattern contains a transparency, it should be blended with the underlying objects according to the current extended graphic state settings (e.g. knockout, blend mode etc).  Prior to this commit, patterns with transparency behaved always as knockout fills.  This fixes Bug 690467 and fixes issues for files that contain transparency patterns in the regression suite when using the pbm output device.
When a transparency is present in a pattern, a pdf14 device is pushed.  Pattern accumulation will then occur in the transparency buffer.  When the accumulation completes, the buffer that is created is no longer passed to the pattern tile object gx_pattern_trans_t through pdf14_put_image, but instead the buffer and various details about the buffer are placed in the existing planar form into a new member of gx_pattern_trans_t called ttrans.  
When a  path is to be filled with the pattern, we will be in pdf14_fill_path.  If the color to fill with is of type pattern1_color, then we will do a call to pdf14_tile_pattern_fill which pushes a transparency group the size of the path that we are filling, in the base color space of the tile.  We decompose the path to a rectangle list which is then filled using gx_trans_pattern_fill_rect.  If the fill is simple, i.e. if the tile step size and tile size are the same, then a straight forward non-overlapping fill of the rectangle occurs.  Otherwise a more complex filling occurs where the tiles may overlap.  If the tiles overlap, then blending will need to occur.  Optimizations were implemented to avoid blending if it is not required.  In addition, memcpy was used for the inner loop filling (rows) when dealing with the non overlapped case.  Going from planar data in the tile buffer to planar data in the transparency group that we are filling is much more efficient then switching between planar to chunky and back to planar like we would have had to do if we had used pdf14_put_image and stored the tile data in the buffer that is used for the nontransparency case.  Once the fill completes, the transparency group is popped, which will perform the appropriate blending with the parent group in the proper color space.
Currently it is not allowed to have the transparency tile stored as a clist.  Instead the tile is always stored in the ttrans object.  It would probably be worthwhile to fix this at some point.  When we are doing clist processing, code was added to write  (gx_dc_pattern_trans_write_raster) and read (gx_dc_pattern_read_trans_buff) the ttrans object to and from the clist.

Enhancement (pdfwrite) : Add a new switch 'PDFACompatibilityPolicy to control PDF/A
creation when encountering invalid content.

Details
Bug #690500 "gs 8.63. Option dPDFA generating no pdf/a compliant files because of F
key." 

In the reported issue the input PDF file contains a Link annotation with no /F (Flags)
key defined. PDF/A states that only annotations with the 'Print' bit of the Flags field
are permitted. pdfwrite was emitting the annotation, thus creating an invalid PDF/A
file.

The new switch PDFCompatibilityPolicy allows the user to select the behaviour for these
kinds of events. The value defaults to 0, where the behaviour matches Acrobat, the file
is created, but is not PDF/A compliant, a warning to this effect is given. When set to
1, the content will be omitted, resulting in a compliant PDF/A file, a warning is
given for each piece of omitted content. Values other than 0 or 1 are treated as 0 and
a warning is given that the value is not understood.

Currently only implemented for annotations, it is expected this will be extended over
time.

Fix (pdfwrite): Crash with font errors.

Details:

files"

The font 'encode_char' method can return a 0 error code, but set the returned glyph
name to 'gs_no_glyph' to indicate that a glyph could nto be found in a valid font.

pdfwrite was then trying to get the glyph information for the 'gs_no_glyph' glyph, which
caused a crash in dict_index. Fixed by detecting the gs_no_glyph and returning an error.

Add a couple of utilities for extracting Fonts and ICC Profiles from a
PDF. I had these laying around and the need for these comes up from 
time to time. See the top of each PostScript file for usage.

DETAILS:

It is the responsibility of creators of PDF's to not embed fonts that
are identified as not to be embedded. Ghostscript (as of rev 8603)
respects the TrueType FSType FontInfo.

The copyright and license of fonts and ICC profiles in a PDF will
still be in force. Any knowledgeable user can use Ghostscript
(or many other tools) to extract this information. We provide this
utility mostly to provide the 'source' for GPL'ed fonts as required
by fonts. Fonts are programs and distribution requires distribution
of 'source', so this lets users get the source and (using a font
editor) modify the font. See bug 690533 (if you must).

This patch is a continuation of revision 9842, to derive the fill
adjustment parameter from the graphics state and not assume the value
is 1/2.  Interestingly, the patch seems to result in improvements for
postscript in several regression test files.  For example cet file
13-13.ps page 3 appears to improve the clipping of the large (W)
character.  Previously the (W) character obscured the line on the top
border of the page, now the line is visible.  Unfortunately the non
banded result is still wrong and with the fix does not match the
banded output.  Analysis of this issue is incomplete and ongoing.

Fix (CID fonts): The fallback when totally failing to find a character code in a CMap
sets the CID to 0 (/.notdef) but failed to select a descendant font.

Details:
bug #690372 "Error: /undefined in %Type0BuildGlyph"

The PDF file is fundamentally flawed, the font uses the /Identity-H CMap for a font, but
the font uses single bytes for each character code, where the CMap expects 2 bytes for
every character code.

The font code falls back to using CID 0 (the /.notdef equivalent), but failed to select
a descendant font before returning. Because no descendant was selected GS was attempting
to extract the glyph from the type 0 font, which has no glyphs, and therefore failed 
with an undefined error.

The code has been modified to select a descendant font before continuing under these 
conditions.

Fix for segfault caused by dereference of a stale pointer (pgs->dev_color).
Bug 690519 detected with pkmraw during regression testing.

DETAILS:

If a GC was run during a pattern accum in the PS interpreter, the pgs->dev_color
structure could be moved. This was not tracked, probably because the dev_color
was assumed to be "dynamic". The fix performs gx_unset_dev_color during the
pattern_paint_cleanup (in zpcolor.c). This minimal change is all that is needed
since only the PS interpreter runs a "real" GC that moves structures.

The fill adjustment associated with the clipping path should be
derived from the graphics state, not set to the constant 1/2.  This
change results in many improvement for pcl which uses center of pixel
(fill adjust == 0) rendering.  It should result in no change for
postscript or pdf at high resolution, but we do expect many difference
at lower resolutions, where fill adjust is set to 1/4.  In the latter
case postscript and pdf paint with fill adjust set to 1/4 while
clipping paths are created with a fill adjustment of 1/2 which is
incorrect.

Enhancement (TrueType fonts): Add support for Adobe's use of Identity CMap in PDF files,
when substituting a TrueType font, mapped as a CIDFont from disk, for a missing CIDFont.

Details:
bug #688515 "Need method to map CIDFonts to TrueType fonts when Ordering is Identity"
This issue also covers issues #689499, #688813, #689623 and #690483. 

When using a native TrueType font from disk as a replacement for a CIDFont, GS needs a
way to convert the character code used in the input file (either PostScript or PDF) into
a TrueType glyph ID (GID). 

When the TrueType font is declared (in cidfmap), the CSI entry contains an Ordering, this is concatenated with the CMAP declared in the actual TrueType font. This
information is used to create a CIDDecoding resource, certain  combinations (defined in
.CMapChooser) create CIDDecoding resources 'on the fly'.

A CIDDecoding resource simply maps a character code directly to a GID. Normally this
resource, when automatically created, is manufactured by converting the character code
to an internal code (using the declared CMap from cidfmap) and then converting the 
internal code to a GID using the TrueType CMAP table. Most often the internal code
is a Unicode code point.

The investigation in 688515 makes it clear that when we have an Identity CMap in a
PDF file the character code should be treated as the GID. This makes it very easy for 
us to construct a CIDDecoding resource, its a simple one-to-one. Unfortunately the 
existing machinery relies upon a CMap, and there is already a mapping for 
Identity.Symbol (An Identity CMap with a font whose CMAP table is a Symbol table).
We don't want to break this existing functionality, so the new code adds an entry
in .CMapChooser for Identity.Unicode (only to avoid errors) and then in the 
function which actually loads the TT font (load_sfnts in gs_cidtt.ps) we check
specifically for an Identity.Unicode Decoding. If we find one then we call a new
routine to create an Identity mapping (CIDMap) from character code to GID.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Make type 3 bitmap font text-searchable if possible

Details
Bug #690430 "PCL to PDF creates non-searchable text with incorrect font bbox"

There were several changes which needed to be made here, in particular

1) Prevent the PDF text routines updating the text state when using type 3 bitmap
   fonts, as this caused each glyph to be emitted individually.

2) Change the way bitmap glyphs are recorded and drawn, previously each glyph origin
   was the top of the glyph, which meant that different height glyphs had effectively
   differing baselines. The need to shift y position caused glyphs to appear on 
   different PDF 'lines', which prevented searching

3) Hone some internal heuristics which prevented large kerning values and caused glyphs 
   to be placed individually.

Fix (pdfwrite): Bug in pdfmark processing

Details
Bug #690525 "hyperlinks in pdf off by one page since revision 9779"

Revision 9779 fixed a problem when a DOCVIEW pdfmark did not specify a /Page or View to
open the file on. This caused an extra page reference to be created, which caused an
invalid xref to be created.

This was fixed by altering the page count, but this caused real DEST pdfmarks not to
work properly under some conditions.

Restored the page count, and used the presence of either a /Page or /View pdfmark to
generate a page number, if neither is present no page number is created. This fixes
both issues.

Changed to use memset when filling white and black lines of a
rectangle.  This provides about a 10% speedup over copying a byte at a
time when printing long jobs where a significant amount of time is
spent whitening the page, this improvement was observed on a 2.53 GHz
Intel Core 2 Duo (Mac OS X) and we expect similar results on other
platforms.  No expected changes, the code is functionally equivalent.

Provide for filling zero width areas to prevent dropout in some strange stroked
characters. This seems to be the intent of the code, and definitely conforms to
the PS PLRM, but the PDF Reference Manual says zero width fills may or may not
be filled (although Adobe Acrobat does). This is not (yet) enabled by default,
but is provided to simplify regression analysis and for customer 531, bug 690466.

DETAILS:

The original code in gxfill.c seems quite strange in that usually it will fill
horizontal areas sue to the 'adjust_above' and 'adjust_below', but depending
on the coordinate, this would sometimes NOT include the horizontal segment.

The change to gxfilltr.h adds vertical segments when PSEUDO_RASTERIZATION
is in the 'template' (as before) as well as when FILL_ADJUST is in the
'template' and the 'adjust' left and right values are > 0.

Previously we identified a banding device by checking if its
get_bits_rectangle procedure was the same as the procedure used in the
constant procedure declarations gs_clist_device_procs.  This
conditional has not been correct since the multi-threaded code, the
get_bits_rectangle() procedure is overridden with a new procedure
get_bits_rectangle_mt() and all devices were detected as non-banding.
We change the procedure checked to be open_device and don't expect
this to be overridden, but the code is still somewhat awkward.

The broken conditional resulted in non deterministic behavior in the
wtsimdi device, indirectly causing the complexity array to be
uninitialized.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Bug with DOCVIEW pdfmark handling

Details
bug #690514 "PageMode DOCVIEW pdfmarks result in broken PDF file"

Using the the /PageMode DOCVIEW pdfmark without using another DOCVIEW pdfmark
which directly references a page (eg specifying the page to open on via /Page)
results in a spurious extra entry in the xref table, referencing the first page
object.

This is caused by the pdfwrite routine 'pdfmark_make_dest' which calls
'pdfmark_page_number'. If there is no specified /Page in the pdfmark, then a new
page reference for the 'next' page is allocated in the xref table, using the
location of the current page. This is the source of the spurious entry.

Note that the DOCVIEW code seems to assume that there be at most one /Page or /View
pdfmark in the array.

Fixed by decrementing the page count in pdfmark_page_number if the string being
parsed for a page number is empty.

Fix (colour handling): improper handling of ICCBased space with a /Alternate ICCBased
    space

Details:
bug #690495 "Error: /typecheck in --@0x1007f6f0--"

It is technically possible (apparently) for a PDF file to contain an ICCBased space
which has an /Alternate space which is also an ICCBased space. The existing
validation code assumed this would not be the case and reused a reference if the
latter space had no /Alternate in order to select an appropriate final Alternate.

This led to the latter ICCBased space being replaced by the selected default space,
which meant we had fewer spaces than expected when actually setting the space.

Fixed by inserting the selected appropriate default space into the ICC dictionary as
an /Alternate and revalidating the modified space.

Fix an uninitialized variable warning in FAPI_do_char.

Details:

Previously the local variable 'code' was used for incidental return 
value checks, but *also* to set cr.is_glyph_index in in the CID font 
case. This is because cid_to_TT_charcode() returns 1 on success, but
if it can't find a character code for the given cid, it sets the
character code to zero and returns zero itself to indicate failure.

Zero makes more sense as a glyph id (.notdef) than as a character
code, so in this case it's appropriate to set is_glyph_index based
on this. The other paths which set 'code' all deal with truetype
fonts, so the default success value of zero is also correct.

However, there were in theory code paths where code was never set,
and so is_glyph_index was being set from an unitialized value; thus
the gcc warning. And the double-use of the variable 'code' was hard
to read. This commit adds a separate boolean to track whether we've
found a character code or not and sets cr.is_glyph_index based on
that.

Fix (ps2write) : Crash caused when converting large shading to image.

DETAILS :

Bug 690475 "ps2write" segfaults on PDF file of CUPS test suite".

When converting a shading to an image for PostScript output, and the resulting image is
large (> 512Kb), the code attempts to select an appropriate compression filter. As part
of doign this it probes the colour space in an attempt to determine what kind of space
it is. However this doesn't work when we have created the image ourselves, as tehre is
no associated imager state to probe the colour space resulting in a crash.

state.

Fix (FAPI) : Type 2 fonts with local Subrs fail

Details
Type 2 (CFF) fonts may have both local and global subroutines. Normally fonts will only
contain a global set, while FontSet fonts may contain both a global set, and a local set
per font.

The FAPI code, when converting an internal GS representation back into a CFF stream,
incorrectly conflated the local and global Subrs into a single GSubrs (global subrs)
dict. Additionally it pushed the local subrs first. The result of this is that glyphs
using a callgsubr operator retrieved the subroutine, and glyphs using a callsubr would
fail because no local Subrs were defined.

Extended the FAPI code to retrieve the local and global subrs separately, to write a
local /Subrs dict if required, and to correctly calculate the /Subrs offset and store
it in the font Private dict when a /Subrs dict is present.

Bug #690461 "ghostscript can't handle files with long name-paths"

The real issue is that the drag-and-drop interface had a fixed buffer of 80

It looks like the original code was from some boiler plate sample. Updated the code
to use the DragQeryFiles API call to find the length of the full path specification
and then malloc a buffer to hold it. Although we would never normally use the system
malloc call, this should not be a problem in the Windows-specific code.

Fix (FAPI) : FAPI fails when FontBBox is missing

Details
(see also rev 9692) The FAPI code attempts to modify the FontBBox in the font
dictionary after rebuilding a font with a non-GS font renderer. If the FontBBox is
missing this creates an error condition. This is generally correct, FontBBox is a 
mandatory entry in a font dictionary.

However, the code can be called to define a (PDF) type1C font, a CFF font, and it is
possible (Bug689740.pdf) that the top DICT does not contain a FontBBox. In this case
we should inherit the FontBBox from the FontDescriptor in the PDF file, but we don't
have a mechanism to do that. 

Since PDF isn't a programming language the scope for using the FontBBox is pretty
limited, so for now I've chosen to ignore the error.

Fix (FAPI): Incremental Type 42 font with GlyphDirectory & missing glyphs fails

Details
The FAPI code assumed that the routine to extract glyph data from sfnts would always
work when a GlyphDirectory is present, and used glyf + loca if this routine failed, 
assuming that this meant there was no GlyphDirectory. However, the test file
Bug687845.ps contains a type 42 incrementally downloaded font which uses a
GlyphDirectory and also attempts to access glyphs which aren't defined in the
GlyphDirectory.

This caused the code to try and use the loca and glyf tables, which aren't present,
which caused an error.

Modified the FAPI code to return a glyph length of 0 when we have a GlyphDirectory but
no defined glyph. This causes GS to render nothing, which matches the regular result as
well as the action of Acrobat.

Bug 689236 "pdfwrite disregards -dSubsetFont= with TrueType". 

This fixes the valid part of the bug, which is related
to not-subsetting True Type fonts. The supplied example
exceeds the hardcoded constant of 500 glyphs,
so the font was always subset. Here we enlarge

Fix (FAPI) : FAPI fails when FontBBox is a packed array

Details
The FPAI code attempts to modify the FontBBox in the font dictionary after rebuilding a
font with a non-GS font renderer. However it assumed that the FontBBox would always be a regular array, capable of handling real numbers.

Some fonts have FontBBox arrays which only contain small integers, and which are 
therefore stored as packed arrays (t_shortarray in GS). This was cuasing the FAPI code
to throw an error.

Modified the code to replace the packed array with a full array before filling in the
new values, if the original array was packed.

Replace malloc with gs_alloc_bytes in the inferno device.

Details:

The inferno device allocates an image writer struct in initwriteimage,
and later frees it when a null buffer is passed to writeimageblock.

We prefer to use gs_alloc_bytes instead of calling system malloc
because it respects memory contraints requested by the client. Note
however that the w pointer is local to inferno_print_page and not
traceable. This is fine and the structure doesn't have a lifetime
outside that function. If it did, it would need to be stored and
enumerated in inferno_device.

Note that this requires modifying the two utility functions to take
a memory pool pointer.

Enahncement (FAPI) : Allow FAPI to work with pdfwrite.

DETAILS :

FreeType could not be used with pdfwrite for any purpose, even to render
fonts for bitmap fallback. This seems overly pessimistic. 

This patch allows FAPI font rendering engines to work with pdfwrite, this 
will mean the FAPI interface is used for the selected types of font (see 
FAPI for documentation) including CharString decoding and especially 
rendering to bitmaps for type 3 font fallback.

In general pdfwrite uses its own routines to write and convert font types as
required, but it does not render any kind of font data, so if it is unable
to handle a font type it relies on the graphics library to render the glyph
to a bitmap, which is then stored in a type 3 font.

The FAPI code checks the device parameters to see if 'EmbedFontObjects' is 
true, and does not attempt to use the FAPI for fonts if it is. So firstly we
alter the device parameters in pdfwrite to set this to false.

The FAPI code was assuming that the text enumerator it received would always
be a 'show' enumerator, and extracted a pointer to the graphics state from it.
Of course if the device is pdfwrite then the text enumerator will instead be 
a pdf_text_enum. Modified the code to check the object type of the enumerator
and use the pointer to the imager state (checking it is a st_gs_state type)
if this is not a show enumerator. Also only update the 'cc' fields in the 
enumerator if this is a show enumerator.

Note that because the CharString and font validation is handled by the font
rendering engine, it may differ from the GS engine regarding the validity
of fonts.

Allocate the inferno device's color cube dynamically.

DETAILS:

The inferno device generates a color cube on device open, ostensibly
to speed up the palette mapping. Previously this was stored in a
global array, adding 16 or 32 KB to the constant memory footprint
of ghostscript.

Instead, this commit allocates the color cube dynamically, storing
a pointer to it in the inferno_device structure. A custom structure
descriptor is added, and propagated through the new prn_device
construction macros, so it can be traced by the garbage collector.

In this way, the memory is only used when the inferno device is active.

Add a new prn_device_stype_body() construction macro.

Previously, all the printer device structures assumed there were no
additional pointer members in any subclass, and always installed the
st_device_printer structure descriptor. This may account for why so
few devices bother with point enumeration. Or perhaps it's the other
way around.

In any case, this commit adds two new construction macros for
filling in device structure templates: prn_device_stype_body and
prn_device_margins_stype_body. These take an additional argument,
the address of the subclass structure descriptor, after the device
name, and propagate it to the std_device_full_body_type macros.

This is a merge of the smask_work branch into the trunk.  The merge fixes issues related to missing soft masks, improperly rendered soft masks and transparency group color spaces.  It addresses a number of bugs including 688728 689422 689512 689931 688601 689968 690958 690115 690157 and 690170.    

DETAILS:
This commit is a compilation of changes that occurred in the smask_work SVN branch.  That branch was created with rev 9134 on Oct 8 2008.  The final commit to that branch was with rev.  9665.  For extreme details on the changes in this commit, you can review the commit messages within that branch.
Soft masks:  The basic architecture for the soft mask remains in place; where by the soft mask is composed with the popping of the transparency group.  In performing soft mask operations, the current code pushes a soft mask, which creates a new buffer.  This buffer is then rendered into.  Once the soft mask drawing is completed, the soft mask is popped.  This operation moves the soft mask buffer into the mask buffer of the parent transparency group.  When that transparency group is popped, it should be composed with its parent layer, while being adjusted with the soft mask buffer values.  If there was never a transparency group that was popped following the soft mask, then the soft mask would not be applied.  The solution to this issue involved changes in pdfdraw.ps that forced the creation of a transparency group when one had not yet been created if a soft mask push was to occur.  When this extra group is popped, the soft mask will then be applied.  The PDF interpreter knows that a SMask exists in the ExtGstate when 'SoftMask' is not null. Since the ExtGState elements are part of the top dict, the 'begin' .. 'end'  part of the 'q' and 'Q' operators, respectively, take care of keeping the SoftMask current.  When a transparency group is executed, the SoftMask is set to null since the SMask saved in the pdf14 'maskbuf' element will be applied during the blending when the transparency group is popped.
Soft masks are now drawn in the specified group color space.  Previously, the soft mask was drawn in the target device color space and then the K channel for the CMYK case or the R channel for the RGB case were used as the soft mask luminance channel.   Now the mapping from the DeviceRGB or DeviceCMYK to a luminance component is performed as specified by the PDF specification.  If the color space is CIE based, the base device space is used.  This CIE case does not follow the PDF specification but does follow what occurs with Acrobat Reader.    Previously the code carried around the soft mask buffer as an RGB or CMYK buffer.  It is now represented by a gray buffer.
Transparency groups: Color space changes for transparency groups are now followed.  Previously, the target device color space was always used for blending.  Now the proper color space is used, with the exception of ICC and other CIE based spaces.  For those spaces the base device color space is used.  The ICC and CIE based spaces will be addressed when the ICC branch is merged.  Changing the current code to do forward and backward mappings with the ICC color spaces is beyond the work scope of the smask_work branch.    In the presence of nested transparency groups, the parent color space can be different than the child color space.  When the child is popped, its contents are now converted from the child’s color space to the parent’s color space.  Note that if the output device is a separation device, the transparency group color space is ignored and the blending is performed amongst the channels, which can be numerous if there are many spot colors.  Also note that for soft mask groups, the alternate tint transform is always used for spot colors.
To achieve these fixes, a number of changes besides those already mentioned above were required.  These include:
A dynamic update of the pdf14 device colorinfo value based upon the color space of the current transparency group.  This information is used often in deciding how to encode and decode the color data.  In the case of the clist writer and reader, the code often ends up forwarding certain operations to the target device in which case we no longer would have the colorinfo of the pdf14 device.  The solutions to this problem required the addition of a clist_color_info member value to the clist writer device.  This value is updated in the same manner that the pdf14 device will be updated during the clist reader phase thereby ensuring the proper color information is written and read.  Also required was the addition of a trans_device item to the imager state.  This was needed due to the fact that the clist writer forwards its fill path command to the target device.  In the shading code, if we have a DeviceN color space we eventually get back to pdf14_cmap functions, assuming we have a RGB or CMYK target device.  These cmap functions should make use of the clist device to map to the proper blending color space NOT the target device color space.  In the current code, the cmap functions can only see the target device and the imager state hence the solution to add trans_device to the imager state.  This is only used during clist writing and assigned during the clist writers PDF14 fill path at which point it is assigned the address of the clist writer device.  During the PDF14 cmap functions, if the trans_device is not NULL in the imager state we use that device's color mapping procs instead of the target device color mapping procs.  In this approach, we maintain access to the transparency group color space and its procedures through the imager state.  Finally, shading fills should NOT occur in the device color space when we are within a transparency group with a different color space.  To avoid this issue a boolean named has_transparency was added to the imager state.  Now if we find that we are in a transparency group during the shading fills, then the is_linear_color_applicable operation will return a false and the target color space is not used for blending.
To maintain the changing pdf14 color space information in the presence of nested groups, parent_color_info_procs was added to the already nested pdf14_buf_s where the new pdf14_parent_color_t contains the information related to the parent’s color space.   This handles the nesting of color information for the clist reader.  For the clist writer, pdf14buf is always NULL.  For this case, a pointer to a pdf14_parent_t was added to pdf14_device_s.  A stack was created and the color information is pushed on and popped off the stack as the transparency groups are pushed and popped during the clist writer phase.  
Changes were also required in pdfdraw.ps to handle the case when a transparency group does NOT define a color space.  In this case, the parent’s group color space (or the target device color space if we are at the first level) should be used.
In the presence of a monochrome target device, the previous code PDF14 device was still pushing an RGB buffer initially.  This is now changed and a monochrome buffer is created. 
There was much confusion in the code relating to the number of colors, separations, spot colors, and process colors.  This became clear when looking at a file that had over 100 colorants. GX_DEVICE_COLOR_MAX_COMPONENTS defines the max number of different colors that we currently encode.  This should include both the process colors and the spot colors.  Many parts of the code looked at these colors differently. Some portions of the code treated the number of spot colors and/or separations as having a range to GX_DEVICE_COLOR_MAX_COMPONENTS, while other parts include the process color AND the spot colors in that range.   The changes here ensure that GX_DEVICE_COLOR_MAX_COMPONENTS defines the max number for all process and spot colors.  
The current code did not recognize patterns with transparency in PDF.  Now, the presence of transparency in a pattern is detected.  If a transparency component is found, the pdf14 compositor is installed.    
Finally, pdf_draw.ps was modified so that when an image is encountered with a softmask (/doimagesmask) AND the output device is pdfwrite then we do avoid the DoImage that is used to fill the softmask buffer for the pdf14 device.  The pdfwrite device will obtain the maskdata as part of image3x.  Previously, the mask image was at times being placed in-line for the pdfwrite device during the DoImage that is associated with storing the softmask buffer in the pdf14device.  In the old flow, the SMask image was effectively being processed twice.

Fix (colour) : Ensure /UseCIEColor sets for initial space correctly.

Details
bug #690432 "/UseCIEColor not working with default colour space"

The change to process colour and colour space in C instead of in PostScript overlooked 
code in gs_setpd.ps  which interacts badly with an optimisation.

The optimisation skips changing colour space if its the same as the current space. But
if /UseCIEColor has changed value we must not skip the change. This was achieved 
previously by only skipping the change if UseCIEColor was false, and setting the space
to something other than DeviceGray in gs_setpd.ps.

We take advantage of the same trickery by always setting the space to something other
than DeviceGray in gs_setpd.ps, in the knowledge that initgraphics will switch the 
current space back to DeviceGray. Because the spaces don't match we will process the
change, getting the correct result for UseCIEColor.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Work aroung wrong numGlyphs.

DETAILS :
Patch and log supplied by Leonardo.

Bug 690047 "Incorrect cmap generated by pdfwrite".

If a source True Type font defines numGlyphs lesser then
the actually defined number of glyphs,
the old code writes an incorrect True Type header with
wrong offsets to subtables.

Since in nowadays the number of glyphs may be increased
due to font merging, we decided to write the extended subtables
with a bigger number of glyphs. See comments in code.
See enlarged_numGlyphs and related code portions.
The original numGlyphs is kept unchanged for easier debugging.

For an easier debugging added checks into psf_write_truetype_data
for comparing actual subtable offsets with ones written
into the True Type header. The new structure subtable_positions
works for that.

Also improved a printing in gs_type42_font_init.
The old code can print occasional garbage beyond the font name end.

Fix for crash on 18-02B in clist code. The clist cbuf (on the stack) would
write past the end of the buffer are polluting the next varaible on the
stack (data_bits). Fixes 690399.

DETAILS:

This problem was introduced with r8712 (leonardo). The return value for
gx_dc_pattern_read_raster should be the number of bytes consumed, but in some
(rare) cases it would return 0, causing a later contamination of a byte past the
end of a buffer on the stack, polluting another value. The effect would be
dependent on the 'endian-ness' since only one byte was overwritten.

Also 'protection' for this condition was added in top_up_cbuf to prevent
future problems.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Omitted to write CIDToGIDMap when it was Identity, even if writing PDFA

Details
When writing CIDFontType2 fonts we should emit a CIDToGIDMap entry, which we do. However

writing a PDF/A compliant file, in which case we must write /Identity.

Fix (ps2epsi): rounding problems calculating bbox.

Details:
Bug #688500 "ps2epsi produces too-narrow bounding box (2)".

Text and linework rendered at low resolution can differ by a few pixels from
that rendered at higher resolution because of serifs, miters etc. The ps2epsi 
script rendered the job at low resolution and used that both to calculate the 
bounding box, as well as for the epsi preview. This could lead to small errors 
if the job was re-rendered at a higher resolution

The new approach is to use the bbox device in Ghostscript to calculate a more
accurate bounding box. This has meant altering the scripts for all the
operating systems.

Also, the ps2epsi.bat file did not work correctly under Windows Vista. A
new 'cat.ps' file has been added to gs/lib. This uses the %infile% and
%outfile% environment variables and concatenates the two files together.
This only affects the Windows batch file.

Fix (pdfwrite): Incorrect handling of short images with subsampling.

Details:
bug #690350 "Conversion to pdf of a color pcl file generated by pjxl300 
gsview 4.9 driver"

The PCL file consists of a single large image covering the page. However,
the PCL interpreter calls 'process_zero_rows' (rtraster.c) which has the
side effect (sometimes at least) of closing the image and restarting it.

Pdfwrite already has code to handle a short image like this, it replaces
the image dictionary /Height value with the number of rows of data
actually received. However, if subsampling is enabled, this can be
incorrect, some of the rows of received data may have been discarded.

Altered pdf_end_image_binary to check if subsampling is taking place and
if it is to calculate the subsample factor and divide the number of rows
of data received by the subsample factor before storing as the new /Height.

Enhancement (pdfwrite) : Allow pdfwrite to produce multiple copies of pages. New flag
        'DoNumCopies' added.

Details
Bug #690355 : "pdfwrite ignores the "#copies" setting in PostScript input"

The pdfwrite device follows the behaviour of Acrobat Distiller and ignores the /#copies
and /NumCopies settings in PostScript. This is at least partly because these can't be
expected to work properly with Destination annotations specifying a page as the
destination (eg Link or Outline annotations).

However CUPS (and potentially other PDF workflow applications) may have no way of
determining that application-produced PostScript requires multiple copies to be 
printed, after the file has been converted to PDF.

For the benefit of such applications a new flag 'DoNumCopies' has been added, if 
present then pdfwrite will duplicate each page in the output as many times as the 
/#copies or /NumCopies current setting.

There is currently no provision for reordering the pages, the duplicates follow the 
original immediately in page order.

Fix (pdfwrite): Incorrect handling of type 1 counter control hints.

When converting type 1 outlines to type 2 outlines, we were not catering for
OtherSubrs 12 or 13 (counter control hints) in the first pass over the font.
These operators take a large number of arguments, and these were being left 
on the font operand stack. This quickly resulted in a stack overflow and an 
invalidfont error. We now remove the operands from the stack when we encounter 
them.

In addition, the code for writing CIDFontType0 fonts which called the conversion
routine was not checking the return value, and carried on trying to embed the font
anyway.

DETAILS :

Patch and Log supplied by Leonardo.

Bug 689610 "Possible /NeverEmbed vs /AlwaysEmbed problem"
The root of the problem is that (1) empty arrays did not work,
and (2) existing values of the parameters (before setdistillerparams)

In the old code, PS and C parts of "embed" parameters implementation
are inconsistent each to another and to the documentation. Replacing both with the
right logic defined in the Adobe Distiller Parameters specification.
The comment in gdevpsdp.c line 81 is kept as the basic interface definition.

Note: in the old code param_read_embed_array could not distinguish empty array from
no array,  but it is important for the Adobe logic.
Also psdf_put_embed_param parameters did not correspond  to the documentation in

This fixes the large size of the PDF output reported in

A better fix would be subsetting EBDT, EBLC, EBSC

examples for testing all possible formats of those tables.
Also it will be necessary to compact the glyph index space

Fix (fonts): PaintType 2 fonts not working.

Details:
bug #689826 "FT_BRIDGE crashes with CID fonts"

The initial problem is that a required table, TT_cmap, was NULL, and was not tested
by the CID decoding module before attempting to use it.

Further investigation revealed a fair number of problems surrounding this are. The 
problems stem from the use of a native TrueType font on disk to replace a CIDFont (not 
from an actual CIDFont as the summary suggests). When using a CIDFont the character
code is mapped to a CID using the CMap and the CID is directly used to extract the 
glyph program from the font's CharStrings dictionary.

With a TrueType font that is not sufficient, TrueType fonts use Glyph IDs (GID) and
have a completely different method of mapping the encodings. We attempt to handle this
by converting the CID to a Unicode value, and then use the TT Unicode CMAP subtable to
convert the Unicode value to a GID.

With GS' own font handling this works, because we extract the CMAP subtable and carry
it around in the font. WHen using FreeType this is not done, and so the conversion
fails.

Modified the FAPI interface to create a new method 'check_cmap_for_glyph' which will
allow us to interrogate the TT CMAP subtable from the FAPI server. Copied sections of
CID decoding from zcid.c to zfapi.c in order to perform the same checks as our own 
code and use the correct Unicode value.

Fix (fonts): PaintType 2 fonts not working.

Details:
bug #690343 "Fonts with PaintType 2 (outline) not working with FreeType bridge"

The FAPI code seems to assume that it will always get an 'e_limitcheck' error when no
raster is available. This seems to be true for glyphs too large to cache, but is not
the case when the font is intended to be an outline. In this case there is no raster, 
but the error return is not e_limitcheck.

Rather than rely on an error value, modified the code so that if the font has a 
non-zero PainType, we assume that we only have an outline.

Look for the 'cmap' table in the font dictionary and use it when mapping
a cid to a character code when using the FAPI bridge.

This replaces a segfault with an invalid font error. Bug 689826.

Details:

This clause in FAPI_do_char() was explicitly calling
cid_to_TT_charcode() with a NULL TT_cmap argument, which that function
dereferenced, causing a segfault. As far as Ken and I can tell, that
function can't do anything useful without the cmap table from the
underlying font, so it makes the most sense the resolve the segfault
this way.

However, the ps library code doesn't set this key in the font
dictionary, so for now this just replaces the segfault with an
/invalidfont in --.FAPIBuildGlyph-- error. We could continue
silently by ignoring the mapping if the cmap isn't available down
in TT_char_code_from_CID_no_subst() in which case that font just
would not render as part of the document. We expect to fix this on
the postscript side, so I felt this was a better course for now.

before returning to FAPI so that the conversion into GS co-ordinates works correctly.

Fix (colour): Faulty error handling

Details:
bug #690312 "gs stalls, never returns on attached figure"

The job causes the 'base' (Gray, RGB, CMYK) colour code to be executed with a completely
full stack, which causes a stackoverflow because this routine needs to push the colour
space name onto the operand stack.

However, the operand stack wasn't being checked until after the continuation procedure 
had been pushed onto the execution stack, so after the error handling, we returned to
the continuation procedure, but without an appropriate operand stack. This caused a
loop to run without bounds.

Fixed by checking the operand stack beforesetting up the execution stack for the
continuation and aborting if it is full. Desk checking revealed another potential case
of the same problem, fixed in the same patch.

Change the maxval value for pkm and pkmraw files from 1 to 255.

Details:

Some programs (notably Adobe Photoshop through at least CS4) do not
correctly read PPM files that have a maxval!=255, displaying them
as all black (technically not entirely black, but with pixels set
to 0 or 1).  

This change causes Ghostscript to set maxval to 255 and scale the
output bitmap to 0..255.  Because PBM doesn't pack pixels in the
PPM raw format the output file size will not change; PPM files will
up to double in size (previously each pixel used 6 bytes, "1 1 1 ",
now each pixel uses up to 12 bytes, "255 255 255 ").

Update the msvc build of the freetype bridge for the new link scheme.

This commmit fixes some errors in the earlier untested update. In addition, the earlier FT_LIB (singular) makefile variable is resurrected for the msvc build only. It is necessary because the freetype project file embeds the release number of build variant in the library filename. If FT_LIB is not set it defaults to the multi-threaded debug build of the 2.3.8 release. Obviously this should be changed when building a binary for release, or against a different version of the freetype library.

[base/winlib.mak doc/Make.htm]

2009-02-20T23:17:14.675067Z Ralph Giles

Replace the hardcoded reference to the FreeType library subpaths with a
more direct specification of compile and link flags.

The msvc build is untested.

Details:

Previously, the top level makefile was supposed to define a path to the
freetype source directory, along with the platform-specific library
filename extension. From this the ft bridge makefile section generated
specific references for include paths and the library. This only worked
with a specific version of the library.

This commit removes the variable for passing the library extension,
and relies on the top-level makefile to provide the link commands,
passed in the FT_LIBS variable. Such link commands are generally
platform-specific anyway, so FT_LIB_EXT was redundant. Likewise,
the include path specifiers must be part of the FT_CFLAGS variable.

Previously, FT_LIBS was called FT_LIB. We generally use _LIB for a
single library name. Having the plural LIBS is more common for an
actual link command, which may include flags and other libraries
which are dependencies. This variable is used in the second way.

The build documentation is also updated to reflect the new scheme,
and mention the incremental font support, which seems to be disabled
in most builds.

Update freetype includes to the currently recommended scheme.

Details:

In freetype2, the recommended method of including the headers is to
include <ft2build.h>, depending on a -I line on the compiler's command
line to select the particular location for this, usually something like
$(INCLUDE_DIR)/freetype/

This header defines macros which expand to includes for particular
features, depending on how the particular freetype instance being
built is configured.

This means that we can't have explicit dependencies on the headers we
use, so those references are also removed. This has a side effect of
making it much easier to link with a system version of freetype.

However, the fapi_ft bridge requires freetype's incremental fonts
feature, which seems not to be enabled by default.

Fix (TrueType interpreter): Ignore a 'faulty font' condition

Details:
bug #689760 "Missing characters: Failed to interpret TT instructions"

The font in question is technically invalid. The problem occurs in function 1 of the
FPGM table:

	00069: PUSHB[2]              0    21 
	00072: JMPR       
	00073: ABS        
	00074: DUP        
	00075: ROLL       
	00076: RCVT       
	00077: DUP        
	00078: ROLL       
	00079: SUB        
	00080: ABS        
	00081: PUSHB[1]             50 
	00083: LT         
	00084: IF         
	00085: SWAP       
	00086: EIF        
	00087: POP        
	00088: ROUND[Black] 
	00089: PUSHB[1]             64 
	00091: MAX        
	00092: ENDF       

The JMPR (jump relative) instruction is intended to resume execution at the ENDF
instruction, but the number of bytes is miscounted, falling of the end of the function.
I suspect some TT interpreters catch this by spotting the fact that the IP is past the
end of the function.

We don't seem to be able to check if we've fallen off a function, because we don't store
function lengths, so this code works around the problem by checking the opcode after we
apply the JMPR but befopre resuming execution. If the opcode is *not* ENDF, but the 
preceding opcode was, assume that we have a counting problem, and move the IP back one
instruction.

Also applied the same work around to JROT and JROF instructions.

Fix (TrueType interpreter): Ignore a 'faulty font' error

Details:
bug #689471 "Error in Processing Type42 Charstrings"

The font in question is missing a glyph in the GLYF table, which is used 
as a component by a composite glyph. A later instruction then tries to access 
a non-existent point (probably defined in the missing component), which causes
an error.

FreeType 1 and 2 both ignore this error unless pedantic_hinting is set, other
TrueType interpreters behave similarly.

Make the font cache determinstic.

Details:

Previously the font cache order was based on the value of the pair
pointer.  On some (most?) computers this resulted in the cache being
filled in a deterministic way but not on the the cluster used for
regression testing.  The cache fill order is important because it
affects which entries are removed when the cache is full which
matters because re-rendered glyphs can differ from the cached
rendering (a separate bug, 690281, has been opened for this issue).

to contain a format specifier (like %d) an out of bounds stack reference
could result.

New feature (pswrite): Center pages on output, new switch -dCenterPages

Details:
bug #690100 "Enhancement request: create centered output when reading PDF"

Added a new switch to the collection of media handling controls supported by ps2write. The new CenterPages switch will center the output image on the media, regardless of the size of the media (if the output is larger than the media it will be truncated, but the image will still be centered on the media).

This switch is compatible with the RotatePages control, but not with SetPageSize or FitPages. Like the other switches it can be set as an argument to ps2write when creating a PostScript file (which fixes the result) or it can be supplied to the consuming interpreter in some fashion.

Fix (pdfwrite): Limit on CIDFont size too low

Details:
bug #688736 "ps2pdf does not work on these files"

The 'remaining' issue in these files is the 'error -15' problem. This is caused when writing out a subset CIDFont, and the subset grows to be a large font in its own right.

The way that CFF fonts are written, there is interaction between certain parts. The offset of various tables depends on the size of the Top Dict, but the Top Dict contains the offsets of the CharStrings and the CharSet, so its size is partially dependent on those offsets....

The code in psf_write_cid0_font() initially assigns large values (0x7fffff) to the offsets, then iterates over the data quickly converging on a suitable size of offset, which allows calculation of the Top Dict. 

The problem was that 0x7fffff was too small for the offset of the Font Dict, (which comes after the CharStrings) if the CharStrings table was very large (~8MB). While this is probably adequate in 'real life', because its unlikely a real job would contain so many different glyphs, it is simple to solve by increasing the original 'guess' from 0x7fffff to 0x1ffffff (~32MB), which should be enough for any font.

Fix broken bbox device caused by the 'fillpage' commit of rev 9288. This
resolves bug 690260 and other cases where the bbox was all 0's.

DETAILS:

When the 'RECT_IS_PAGE' check was removed, the BBOX_INIT_BOX function was
invoked unconditionally MUCH too often, leading to an empty bbox (0's)
which also caused the x11 device to not update many areas from the under-
lying image24 buffer to the screen. The 'BBOX_INIT_BOX' should only be
needed when the params change the geometry or when 'fillpage' is done.

Version 8.64 (2009-02-02)

This is the fifth scheduled release in the stable Ghostscript 8.6x series.

Approximately 100 bugs have been fixed since the 8.63 release.

Of particular note in this release are improvements to overprint and spot color support in documents with transparency, improvements to PDF and PS output, proper handling of PDF-specific text rendering modes and support for reading AES-encrypted PDF documents.

Also improved is handling of CJK text, especially in vertical writing modes, memory footprint processing some files at high resolution and support for using the system's default paper size on unix.

The interpreter's handling of color spaces has been moved from PostScript code to C.

A number of the included printer drivers and cups wrappers have been updated to support a PDF-based workflow. Also fixed are several long-standing bugs in the pcl drivers with respect to duplex, resolution and paper tray selection.

The following bugs were open at the time of the last release:

226943, 430175, 465936, 493348, 535932, 578865, 614298, 626295, 686853, 686865, 687011, 687084, 687095, 687146, 687193, 687257, 687271, 687280, 687295, 687297, 687303, 687327, 687375, 687414, 687475, 687492, 687514, 687520, 687536, 687561, 687593, 687608, 687630, 687650, 687666, 687674, 687677, 687695, 687697, 687702, 687715, 687721, 687728, 687731, 687775, 687780, 687782, 687793, 687796, 687805, 687850, 687887, 687903, 687904, 687915, 687931, 687950, 687981, 687983, 688007, 688022, 688024, 688026, 688032, 688036, 688042, 688061, 688064, 688081, 688130, 688166, 688184, 688187, 688204, 688210, 688215, 688227, 688267, 688269, 688280, 688288, 688312, 688318, 688320, 688333, 688342, 688361, 688363, 688372, 688386, 688387, 688389, 688395, 688413, 688436, 688437, 688440, 688448, 688473, 688475, 688483, 688495, 688500, 688515, 688528, 688533, 688539, 688540, 688542, 688557, 688565, 688580, 688581, 688601, 688604, 688605, 688607, 688616, 688617, 688627, 688636, 688638, 688647, 688651, 688655, 688673, 688699, 688708, 688709, 688710, 688714, 688728, 688731, 688736, 688757, 688777, 688797, 688818, 688829, 688843, 688846, 688871, 688872, 688908, 688918, 688919, 688926, 688933, 688942, 688949, 688958, 688969, 688978, 688990, 688994, 688999, 689003, 689011, 689013, 689025, 689028, 689031, 689032, 689040, 689044, 689046, 689048, 689057, 689060, 689070, 689076, 689077, 689078, 689081, 689093, 689094, 689098, 689133, 689137, 689145, 689150, 689153, 689161, 689167, 689174, 689184, 689188, 689195, 689198, 689199, 689209, 689222, 689224, 689236, 689247, 689248, 689252, 689253, 689278, 689279, 689280, 689283, 689289, 689290, 689295, 689308, 689331, 689335, 689340, 689341, 689361, 689370, 689376, 689378, 689392, 689396, 689418, 689419, 689421, 689422, 689423, 689438, 689439, 689450, 689451, 689456, 689460, 689471, 689484, 689487, 689489, 689490, 689498, 689500, 689502, 689506, 689507, 689512, 689518, 689522, 689546, 689547, 689549, 689554, 689557, 689560, 689561, 689563, 689566, 689571, 689573, 689574, 689581, 689584, 689585, 689591, 689592, 689595, 689598, 689601, 689606, 689610, 689616, 689623, 689625, 689627, 689632, 689636, 689641, 689653, 689657, 689658, 689663, 689670, 689674, 689681, 689682, 689684, 689689, 689690, 689691, 689697, 689698, 689704, 689705, 689709, 689710, 689711, 689715, 689721, 689725, 689726, 689727, 689734, 689737, 689741, 689747, 689752, 689756, 689759, 689760, 689761, 689767, 689769, 689772, 689775, 689778, 689781, 689786, 689792, 689793, 689794, 689799, 689801, 689805, 689808, 689817, 689822, 689823, 689826, 689835, 689836, 689840, 689853, 689856, 689858, 689859, 689860, 689861, 689862, 689868, 689869, 689870, 689871, 689878, 689883, 689885, 689910, 689915, 689916, 689917, 689928, 689929, 689930, 689931, 689933, 689937, 689938, 689939, 689940, 689941, 689942, 689943, 689947, 689950, 689951, 689952, 689957, 689968, 689969, 689972, 689974, 689980, 689986, 689991, 689996, 689997, 690003, 690005, 690006, 690007, 690009, 690020, 690022, 690024, 690025, 690026, 690029, 690033, 690036, 690043, 690047, 690051, 690053, 690054, 690056, 690057, 690058, 690061, 690066, 690068, 690069, 690073, 690083, 690084, 690085, 690093, 690094, 690098, 690100, 690102, 690110, 690115, 690119, 690123, 690125, 690126, 690131, 690132, 690137, 690143, 690146, 690157, 690160, 690162, 690170, 690171, 690174, 690176, 690180, 690182, 690183, 690184, 690185, 690189, 690191, 690192, 690199, 690200, 690203, 690207, 690208, 690209, 690212, 690213, 690214, 690216, 690218, 690224, 690225, 690226, 690229, 690230, 690232, 690233, 690234, 690235, 690237, 690238, 690239, 690241, 690246, 690247, 690248, 690249, 690250, 690251, 690253, 690256, 690259, 690261, 690262, 690263, 690264.

Incompatible changes

In this release the C source files have been split into two new directories. Interpreter source files are now in psi and the graphics library and output devices are now in base. Previously everything was in src. This may cause problems with existing references in external build files or when applying patches generated against an older version.

The compiled in font set in Resource/Fonts has been updated to the version from the 8.11 release. This is the same set which was recommended prior to the 8.63.

Revert the patch of 9314 that caused a problem with the Ubuntu bug 160203
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ghostscript/+bug/160203). This
patch appears to be a fix for a much older (~2004) version of gs and should
not be needed as of rev 8161 that resolved segfaults when there is a NULL
get_color_mapping_procs pointer. The mapping of 'black' and 'white' is
needed to properly allow for non-white painting in the bbox device to
avoid 0 0 0 0 BoundingBox.

Fix fillpage in the x11alpha device.

This reverts an incorrect code change which prevented the fillpage
method of the x11alpha device from clearing the buffer. Bug 690255.

Details:

In r9288, a new fillpage method was added. This is a stub in printer
devices, but is overridden to detect page flushes in some high
level devices. That commit included incomplete changes to gdevxini.c
which didn't compile. Alex suggested a fix in 690202, which was
committed as r9294 after approval from the author of 9288. This was
what broke page clearing in the x11alpha device.

This commit removes the changes both commits made to the x11 devices and
restores gdevxini.c to its state prior as of r9287.

Remove $(GS_LIB)\Resource directory from the search path in the msvc 
build to shadowing the compiled in version.

GS_LIB is set in the Windows registery by the installer, but it does not 
currently install a duplicate copy of the Resource tree in the 
filesystem. Having this directory in the search path caused Ghostscript 
to use it for Resource lookup to the exclusion of the %rom% version, and 
since the files weren't installed there, Ghostscript would error out in 
the initialization phase.

Files like cidfmap and available fonts can still be overridden by 
putting them in $(GS_LIB)\lib and $(GS_LIB)\fonts.

Patch from Russell Lang.

Fix for Segfault with tiffsep devics when a file has more than 64 spot colors
and uses transparency. Clean up indentations to C-style. Problem seen with
Bug 690157.

DETAILS:

The number of channels needed in the pdf14 device is one greater than the
number of separations, to allow for the alpha channel (gxblend.h) and the
'comps' variable needs to be at a gx_color_index size to avoid truncation.

Note that the output from tiffsep and psdcmyk is still incorrect -- there
is a gray background in the black channel that is not expected. Also, the
color swatches defined as Alternate colors do not appear in the output,
only the Separations and the device (process) colors.

Also note that this does not address comment #5 from bug 690157 since the
default behavior when the maximum number of separations is reached is to
silently use the Alternate color.

This patch is primarily designed to cure the segfault (buffer OOB) issue.

2009-01-19T09:47:56.340575Z Ken Sharp

Fix (pswrite): %%BoundingBox comment geenration
   (ps2write): media selection and %%BoundingBox generation

Details:
bug #690236 "Ghostscript is not able to convert PDF to PostScript 
maintaining the input document's page sizes"

The pswrite bug is actually in the consuming applications, which are unable to 
process the media selection requests in the pswrite output and instead use DSC
comments to select the media. pswrite attempts to use the bbox deice to generate a
%%BoundingBox comment, but because this is a high-level device, no marks are made, so 
the BoundingBox is 0 0 0 0. 

Fixed by using the media size instead if this case is detected.


ps2write did not generate a %%BoundingBox, or any other DSC comment at all, because it
does not produce DSC PostScript (there is a request to address this already #690064).
Also the media selection in the ps2write output is disabled by default, forcing users
to find some means to set particular keys in userdict on the target device.

Fixed by emitting a %%BoundingBox equal to the media size of the first page (NB as
this is not DSC, other pages will be selected incorrectly if this is all the
application uses). Also allow the use of the /SetPageSize, /RotatePages and /FitPages
keys during ps2write processing to emit a PostScript file with these keys already
set, thus allowing media selection to take place without further user intervention.

Fix (pdfwrite): Invalid metadata for PDF/A output

Details:
bug #690046 "Ghostscript doesn't produce valid PDF/A-1B files"

Now that we have an example file, the remaining issues are resolved:

1) The recommended tags for font metadata in the ISO spec are not present in the XMP schema, resulting in Acrobat preflight complaining. Distiller does not (and never has, apparently) write font metadata for PDF/A files, and the spec says only that files 'should' contain metadata. For now we disable writing font metadata to match Distiller.

2) When converting TrueType fonts into CIDFonts, for PDF/A compatability, we must also write a CIDSet resource. The code was creating and initialising a table containing an explicit 256 entries, but the CIDSet resource was writing as many entries as there are glyphs in the base font. If this was larger we wrote uninitialised data to the CIDSet. Altererd to create and initialise a table the size of the number of glyphs in the base font.

Fix (pdfwrite): Invalid metadata for PDF/A output

Details:
bug #690046 "Ghostscript doesn't produce valid PDF/A-1B files"

This does not, unfortunately, address some of the issues raised in the bug report,
without a sample PostScript file to work from these cannot currently be addressed.

However, there were significant problems with the XMP metadata being written:
1) The rdf attribute 'about' has changed, it is no longer recommended to use a UUID,
it should be left empty or formatted as a URI. Altered to empty.
2) The Adobe parser does not like mix and match of attributes and properties, if we
are setting properties, we can't use (at least some) attributes.
3) The preferred schema namespace prefix for the XMP basic schema is now 'xmp' not
'xap'.
4) Date syntax was incorrect for GMT. XMP specifies *either* 'Z' *or* +/-hh:mm. We
were writing 'Z00:00' (that is, both alternatives).

Also added support for the /Subject and /Keywords elements of the Document Info
dictionary, if these are present, as per the patch from Florian Haenel.

This is fourth partial patch for the bug 689304.

It didn't cause a problem because (we guess)
normally they are equal.

a structure type. Rather it is a correct C,

Fix for overprinting with transparency.  This fixes bugs related to the lack of overprint support when there is transparency present in the file. 

DETAILS: Previously if a sep device is used when processing a file that contains both transparency and overprinting, the overprinted colors would blow away the other sep colors.  In this commit, there was one fix to improper geometry in pfd14_cmykspot_put_image.  The remaining changes involved 1) passing overprint compositor actions to the pdf14 device, which occurs during the clist reading phase (in pdf14_create_compositor)  2) adding over_print and overprint mode to the pdf14 clist parameters (this follows the same process that is currently done for text knockout, blend mode etc) and 3) adding the actual fill support in pdf14_mark_fill_rectangle. 

EXPECTED DIFFERENCES:  In the regression tests Bug688631.pdf and Bug690206.pdf will have slight differences due to the blending of spot colors when the color space is subtractive. This matches what is seen in AR.

Fix (PDF Interpreter): Default Unicode decoding clashing with ToUnicode CMap

Details:
bug #690190 "Problem with -dProvideUnicode"

The ProvideUnicode switch creates a (read only) default Unicode decoding resource, presumably to use as a default ToUnicode Cmap when creating PDF files.

This interferes with PDF files which contain a real ToUnicode CMap, as the resource is read only and so cannot be updated with the content of the ToUnicode CMap.

Fixed by checking to see if the GlyphNamesToUnicode dictionary is writeable, and if it is not, creating a new one, when processing a ToUnicode CMap.

Fix (pdfwrite): Missing glyphs in CIDFont causing errors.

Details:
Bug #690139: "Regression: Error writing PDF file: Missing glyph CID=0 in Bug689614.pdf".

When we find that a string in a PDF file uses a glyph which is not present in the current CIDFont we substitute the .notdef glyph (CID=0). However, if we do not have a width for the .notdef (this is the first missing glyph) we proceed to get one, and then attempt to run the CDevProc for the font.

This, unfortunately, attempts to use the original (missing) glyph, and so fails with a rangecheck error. Added a check to catch this condition and skip the CDevProc and caching.

Also improved the error message slightly.

Fix (garbager) : Wrong object marks when the object is freed by a garbager callback.

DETAILS :

Debugged on Vista x64 with running a 32 bits debug build of revision 9299 
with this command line :

..\..\gs-hd\bin\gswin32c.exe -IF:\AFPL\gs-hd\Resource\Init;f:\afpl\fonts -Z$?@ -r300 
       -dMaxBitmap=1000000  -dNOOUTERSAVE -sDEVICE=ppmraw -sOutputFile=out.ppm -dBATCH 
       -dNOPAUSE "H:\AuxFiles\CompareFiles\084-01.ps"  

1. The main change (gsalloc.c) :

The bug persists since the repository was created. 
When an object is freed after the garbager marking phase and before the
relocation phase, the heap consistency check misrecognizes it
as a free object pointed from an useful object. It happens because
the smark field was left unchanged ("marked") but the object status 
changed to 'freed', which must be unmarked.

In the test case such thing happens when a names subtable is freed
with this stack :
    i_free_object()  Line 721
    name_free_sub()  Line 541
    name_scan_sub()  Line 582
    names_trace_finish()  Line 416
    gs_gc_reclaim()  Line 371 

The patch resets the mark whenever i_free_object is called,
so that any freed object automatically becomes unmarked.
We could do it more delicate with checking whether a garbager
is on stack with a new special flag in gs_ref_memory_t,
but we don't see enough reasons for such complex check.

2. Minor change (igc.c) : 

Provide a right operand when gs_abort is called from  
gc_objects_set_reloc. The old code crashed due to dereferencing NULL.

Fix (pdfwrite): Image with SMask fails when inside transparency group.

Details:
Bug #690139: "Regression: pdfwrite creates empty file".

The PDF Interpreter internally surrounds SMask images with an extra transparency group definition. If emitted to PDF this is invalid and causes Acrobat to complain. This was fixed in revision 6878 (bug 688767) by adding an extra parameter  'Image_with_SMask' to the dictionary.

The pdfwrite code checks for the existence of this in the group, and if present (and true) skips the transparency group begin. It also sets a flag in the device, to skip the end of the group as well.

However, the flag is only reset when a new transparency group is begun. If the SMask was nested inside a group then the flag remained set, causing the 'end' for all enclosing groups to be skipped as well. This caused empty output or, in extreme cases, a 'rangecheck' error in discardtransparencygroup, because we overflowed an internal stack.

We now set the device flag to false after we have skipped an end group.

Fix (pdfwrite): DSC comments interfering with Page Tree Orientation.

Details:
Bug #689922 "Rotation issues with pdfwrite and multiple operations".

When writing out a PDF file, pdfwrite adds /Rotate keys to individual pages, and if the document is gnerally rotated (eg landscape) will set a /Rotate key in the pages treee. This causes all pages which do not have their own value to inherit this as a default.

Unfortunately, the page tree code uses the same logic as the individual page, whch honours DSC '%%Orientation' and '%%ViewingOrientation' comments. If the last file processed contained one of these, this would become the default for all pages, regardless of their actual orientation. This would cause pages to be inappropriately rotated.

Fixed by clearing the DSC information before writing the orientation for the page tree, by this time all the pages that require it have already been written with their own value.

Fix: Problem with /DeviceN [/All].

Details:
Bug #690177 "Separation names become operator names.".

/DeviceN [/All] is technically illegal, but is allowed by Acrobat. We convert this to a /Separation /All colour space for compatibility. An error in the processing of this kind of space led to a string object being used in place of a name object to create the named space.

This led to 'peculiar' plate names instead of 'All', which caused no problems when rendering to CMYK (the alternate is used and sets all inks). However if rendering to a device with additional spot plates not alll plates would be marked as they should be for a /All space. Also pdfwrite produced incorrectly named plates in the output PDF file.

Assume unlabled JPXDecode streams are 8 bit DeviceRGB.

This is a work-around for bugs 688159, 689058 and 689509.

Details:

The PDF spec allows the ColorSpace and BitsPerComponent keys of a
JPXDecode filtered image dictionary to be left out, in which case
the interpreter is expected to obtain this information by examining
the stream.

This change does not implement that, but in most cases the image
is RGB, and 8 bits per component; assuming this format allows
correct rendering of all wild files we've seen of this type.

Enhancement (pdfwrite): Add support for the fillpage method.

Details:
The new fillpage device method can be used to detect occurences of erasepage more reliably (and probably more cheaply in performance terms) than the previous checks in the fill_rectangle methods. 

Removed the old code which checked the rectangle size against the page size, the colour against white, and the transparency stack depth, from the fill_rectangle methods. Added a new routine gdev_pdf_fillpage to implement the new fillpage device method.

Enhancement (graphics) : Implement new device virtual method 'fillpage'.

DETAILS :

The new method improves the handling of 'erasepage' and 'fillpage'
for high level devices, bbox device. Also it is a preparation for
optimizing 'erasepage' for printer devices as for bug 690131.

When erasing a page, the old code passes fill_rectangle through
the device interface. However some devises need to recognize it
as a special high level operation and distinguish from an usual
rectangle filling. The old code implemented some trics for that.
This patch replaces the tricks with a strong logic for bbox device.
The pdfwrite device to be improved separately.

The old function gx_fillpage is now splitted into two parts,
one of which works before the device interface, and another one
after it. The second one looks as a default implementation
for the 'fillpage' device virtual method. Forwarding devices
implement new function gx_forward_fillpage.

Fix (pdfwrite): Fonts with unusual FontMatrix generating incorrect FontBBox.

Details:
bug #689879 "wrong FontBBox in PDF file"

Fonts other than type 3 may not have a FontMatrix in PDF, these fonts are assumed to be on a 1000x1000 design grid. Most fonts already are, and embedded TrueType fonts are already catered for, but some unusual fonts have a non-standard (not [0.001 0 0 0.001 0 0]) FontMatrix. The matrix is accounted for when scaling the font, so the Tf operator is correct in the page content stream, but the FontBBox was calculated using the unscaled glyph outline.

We now scale the font outline into a 1000x1000 design grid before calculating the bounding box, so that the FontBBox entry will be correct.

Use this instead of put_ushort when the value to be written may be negative. Add 0.5 to the floating point calculations and floor() the result so that we get the nearest approximation to the float when writing out the short.

A small number of files exhibit a number of single pixel differences in position or rendering of glyphs with this change. In all cases comparing the rendered result of the new PDF file with the rendered result of the original file shows no differences, so I consider these to be progressions.

Fix for weird math issue under AIX that cause problems in glpyh spacing when
writing type42 fonts for ps2write and pdfwrite.

This fixes bug 690118.

Details:

For reasons that I don't undertand under AIX (ushort) (double * double)
produces a 0 if the first double is > -1 and < 0 (and the sum is < -1).
Presumably the cast happens before the multiplication, but this isn't
reasonable and doesn't occur on other operating systems, even running
the same version of gcc.  Temporarily assigning the sum to a float and
then casting to a ushort resolves the problem.

The temporary assignment should be removed by the optimizer, so there
shouldn't be a performance hit (I did check, the optimized code is still
correct under AIX).

Fix (pdfwrite): regression with type 3 fonts using show charpath stroke combinations.

Details:
bug #690196 "regression: file for bug 689687"

The recent changes for text rendering modes caused a regression with Quark's type 3 font for special text effects, when optimising a show followed by charpath stroke into a single 'Tj' with a text rendering mode of 2 in the resulting PDF file.

Fixed by ceasing to treat type 3 fonts specially and applying the same optimisation as for other font types. A couple of other Quark files exhibit very small differences, comparing these to the rendered output of the original files the new result seems closer to the original. (ie a progression)

Also resolved a compiler warning.

Fix (graphics) : Redundant patterns in clist (continued 3).

DETAILS :

Bug 690133 "Regression: Ghostscript takes up all disk space when rendering eog or GIMP PDF output in 1200 dpi".

When filling a path with a pattern, the old code
stores the pattern to all bands that are covered with the path.
If the pattern is represented with a long clist, 
it consumes too big memory for the page clist.

If the pattern is big, the new code writes it 
to the "all bands" list instead replicating it to bands. 
Therefore the overall memory is smaller.

The decision about storing a pattern to "all bands"
should also depend on the number of bands.
This patch doesn't account that because current data flows
don't pass the number of bands to the point where
the decision must be taken. It may need a further improvement.

The threshold for "big" pattern is arbitrary set to 1Mb.
It may need an improvement also. It's another threshold 
than one for representing a pattern as a raster or a clist.

Fix (graphics) : Redundant patterns in clist (continued 2).

DETAILS :

This patch is important for the bug Bug 690133 
"Regression: Ghostscript takes up all disk space when rendering eog or GIMP PDF output in 1200 dpi",
but it is not restricted with its case.

When writing a pattern color to a band,
the old code uses the "saved color" structure
for remembering which color has been stored for the band.
In the case of pattern it stores the client's pattern id.
However it doesn't provide enough resolution because
a client's pattern may be instantiated with various CTMs.
The new code uses the pattern tile id to distinguish the pattern instances.

We're not sure why saved color structure stores the client's pattern id only.
It should be so for pdfwrite, but need to check whether other
cases are possible. Therefore the current change is kind of hackish.
See comment in code.

Fix (pdfwrite): Large type 1 or 2 fonts caused errors with text.

Details:
bug #690144 "Files render properly with gs, but are misformatted in ps2pdf"

Revision 8235 added support to pdfwrite for type 0 fonts with type 1 or type 2 (CFF) descendant fonts, emitting these as subsets of the original instead of rendering the glyphs and embedding type 3 fonts with bitmap images. This results in better quality and smaller files.

However type 1 or 2 fonts which are too large for an arbitrary Ghostscript limit (> 65537 glyphs) can not be copied. This 'should' have fallen back to the old mechanism, but some data had been altered which led to this failing.

The fix for this comprises 3 parts:

1) Mmodified scan_cmap_text to save the data we modify for subsetting, and restore it if pdf_obtain_font_resource_unencoded fails, which then falls back to the 'default' type 3 mechanism (in case of future problems in this area). 

2) Increased the limit of glyphs (for type 1 or 2 fonts) in gs_copy_font. Added a new parameter 'max_reserved_glyphs'. If this is -1 then we reserve enough space for the number of glyphs in the original font. Otherwise we reserve space for the specified maximum. This limit only applies to font type 1 or 2, and is used by pdfwrite to avoid making excessively large font copies.

3) Modified pdf_base_alloc so that if the font is large (and is not one of the standard 13 fonts), we don't allocate a complete copy for our 'subset', we only allocate as many glyphs as will fit in a standard Encoding, 256, plus  one for the required .notdef making 257 in total. We also avoid making a second 'complete' copy of the font, because we will never write the complete font.

Fix (pdfwrite): more issues with PDF Text rendering modes.

Details:
Bug #689692 Colour and linewidth is not set correct for text with rendermode STROKE
and FILLSTROKE
Bug #Bug690025 pxlmono driver prints some glyphs as squares when the input is PostScript generated by Ghostscript

This follows on from revision 9196 and further addresses problems with PDF text rendering modes. Fundamentally the problem is that the PDF text matrix (Tm) should not affect the stroke width. However PostScript only has one transformation matrix, so when we get a Tm, the PDF interpreter modifies the CTM accordingly. This alters the (effective) stroke width, resulting in incorrect output.

This patch modifies the CTM before executing a stroke in modes 2 & 6, and for mode 1 modifies the stroke width by calculating what it would have been if the CTM were the identity at the time the text block began. Since pdfwrite emits text in an identity CTM, this corrects the problem.

The pdfwrite code for combining show/charpath/stroke operations into a single text rendering mode has been modified to expect the CTM to be correct, and to utilise it, when emitting the combined operation.

Fix (CID font emulation) : CID from another writing mode rendered a wrong glyph (part 2).

DETAILS :

This change fixes the previous change's commitment error.
This log message describes the union of the 2 changes.

This is a second partial fix for Bug 689304
"improper handling of vertical japanese text", related to Comment #30, #31.

When emulating a CID font with an Open Type font, a CID is first
mapped to an OpenType encoding and then to a glyph index.
However OpenType provides same character codes for glyph variants,
which render differently depending on writing mode.
The glyph '(' is an example.

This patch works for OpenType fonts only, which provide a GSUB for vertical 
writing mode.
It is not working for True Type collections with no GSUB.
They need a further improvement.

The patch assumes that all interpreters initialize a Type 42 font with 
zeroing all its fields.
Postscript interpreter does so since a long ago, but we're not sure about 
others.
They may need an improvement.

1. Define a new resource category SubstCID (Resource/Init/gs_ciddc.ps).

2. Provide a tool for generating resources for that category 
(toolbin/GenSubstCID).

3. Provide resources for various orderings (Resource/SubstCID/CNS1-WMode,
Resource/SubstCID/GB1-WMode, Resource/SubstCID/Japan1-WMode, 
Resource/SubstCID/Korea1-WMode).

4. When loading a TrueType or OpenType font for a CID font emulation, 
associate an
appropriate SubstCID resource to it (Resource/Init\gs_cidtt.ps).
(We do associate the resource with TrueType hoping that some
True Type fonts may provide GSUB).

5. Define a new structure gs_subst_CID_on_WMode_s for storing that 
information
for the graphics library (base\gxfcid.h), and its garbager descriptor 
(base/gsfcid.c).
Since it may duplicate for several fonts, it is shared and 
reference-counted.

6. The new function get_subst_CID_on_WMode loads the resource data for the 
graphics library
in psi\zfcid1.c . Note it is implemented for PS interpreter only.

Fix (CID font emulation) : CID from another writing mode rendered a wrong 
glyph (part 1).
This revision is incomplete due to a commitment error. Please use next 
revision.

DETAILS :

This is a second partial fix for Bug 689304
"improper handling of vertical japanese text", related to Comment #30, #31.

When emulating a CID font with an Open Type font, a CID is first
mapped to an OpenType encoding and then to a glyph index.
However OpenType provides same character codes for glyph variants,
which render differently depending on writing mode.
The glyph '(' is an example.

This patch works for OpenType fonts only, which provide a GSUB for vertical 
writing mode.
It is not working for True Type collections with no GSUB.
They need a further improvement.

The patch assumes that all interpreters initialize a Type 42 font with 
zeroing all its fields.
Postscript interpreter does so since a long ago, but we're not sure about 
others.
They may need an improvement.

1. Define a new resource category SubstCID (Resource/Init/gs_ciddc.ps).

2. Provide a tool for generating resources for that category 
(toolbin/GenSubstCID).

3. Provide resources for various orderings (Resource/SubstCID/CNS1-WMode,
Resource/SubstCID/GB1-WMode, Resource/SubstCID/Japan1-WMode, 
Resource/SubstCID/Korea1-WMode).

4. When loading a TrueType or OpenType font for a CID font emulation, 
associate an
appropriate SubstCID resource to it (Resource/Init\gs_cidtt.ps).
(We do associate the resource with TrueType hoping that some
True Type fonts may provide GSUB).

5. Define a new structure gs_subst_CID_on_WMode_s for storing that 
information
for the graphics library (base\gxfcid.h), and its garbager descriptor 
(base/gsfcid.c).
Since it may duplicate for several fonts, it is shared and 
reference-counted.

6. The new function get_subst_CID_on_WMode loads the resource data for the 
graphics library
in psi\zfcid1.c . Note it is implemented for PS interpreter only.

7. Generalized gs_type42_substitute_glyph_index_vertical with providing a 
CID in base/gstype42.c
and made it be a virtual function of gs_font_type42 (base/gxfont42.c).
We're not sure how other interpreters initialize the font, so
we're checking it for NULL for safety and use 
gs_type42_substitute_glyph_index_vertical
as a default implementation.

8. font11_substitute_glyph_index_vertical is another implementation of that 
function, which
accounts gs_subst_CID_on_WMode_s data for providing a right glyph depending 
on WMode.
Rather a SubstCID resource provides a substitution, currently
we only use the fact that a CID is substituted, and never use
the substituting CID. Nevertheless we prefer to define and store the 
resource
in the complete form for possible improvements in future (zfcid1.c).

9. release_subst_CID_on_WMode automatically releases the resource data

Remove a duplicate typedef for stream_arcfour_state.

Details:

The duplicate (opaque pointer) typedef in gdevpdfx.h was
redundant and any users that dereferenced members or allocated
the struct on the stack already included sarc4.h.

I believe the idea here was just to hide the structure details
from some hypothetical user of the pdf_crypt api. However, the
stream state structure should either be opaque, with only the
typedef in sarc4.h or it should be public and using it requires
sarc4.h. The duplication isn't justified in either case.

Since stream state structures generally are public so they can
be stack-allocated, we decided to remove the duplicate typedef.

Also adds a missing dependency to the makefile.

Issue originally reported by the coverity hfa checker.

Fix (pdfwrite): several issues with PaintType 2 (stroked fonts) and PDF Text rendering modes.

Details:
Bug #690136 Differences in character stroke width
Bug #689970 major artefacts in pdfwriter output
Bug #688267 Ghostscript need native PDF graphic state
Bug #689654 pdfwrite ignores font /PaintType 1
Bug #689692 Colour and linewidth is not set correct for text with rendermode STROKE
and FILLSTROKE

The current implementation of text rendering modes has some problems. I've been able to address most of these in this patch by:

1) Making the charpath detection slightly less picky. This picks up more instances of filled text followed by 'charpath stroke', combining correctly into a PDF text  rendering mode.

2) Relaxing the criteria for detecting a Tr mode involving stroking.

3) Removing some spurious scaling, and applying a better scale factor when using stroked fonts (Paint Type 2).

There are still problems with this code, and they are insuperable in the current architecture of pdfwrite/PDF interpreter. Specifically; Text render mode 6 (fill, stroke and clip) doe snot work properly, text which is stroked using a linewidth set  outside the text block, and with a non-identity CTM and non-identity text matrix  results in incorrect stroke widths.

This will need to be addressed further under bug #688267, which is an enhancement. In the meantime this patch significantly improves the current implementation. Note; bug #689692 is still slightly incorrect with this patch, though improved. Bug #690025 is unchanged (still incorrect).

Fix Floating Point excpetion caused by improper initializer of a private device
structure subclassed (in the klunky C ghostscript fashion) from the gx_device_printers_s
structure. Restructure a macro in base/gdevprn.h to help prevent similar bit rot in the
future.  Bug 690122.

DETAILS:

The problem was with devices that use the contrib/lips4/gdevlprn.h header
files. The lp_duplex_device_body_rest_ and lp_device_body_rest_ macros that
initialized the prn_device structure 'common' elements were out of date with
respect to the revision in the gx_device_printer_s structure made for the
multi-threaded rendering. The num_render_threads_requested integer was added.

I restructured the prn_device_body_rest2_ in base/gdevprn.h so that the
contrib/lips4/gdevlprn.h initialization macro could use this to minimize the
likelihood of bit rot in the future.

I did a search for other devices that might have the same problem and did not
find them (although I may have missed them).

Fix for bug 690103.  This issue was introduced with r8868 where spatial interpolation in the source color space was introduced.  The part that was missing in that commit was to handle the case where we had 8 bit image data that was non CIE based and NOT encoded with [0 1] .

DETAILS:

This patch was tested with forced interpolation on a set of files that are known to have issues with interpolation. It performed properly on those and on the customer's bug file. 

The part that was missing in the old code was the case where we have encoded
(not [0 1]) nonindexed 8 bit image data that is not CIE based.	For this case,
it was not getting properly decoded prior to interpolation.

Make gx_sort_ht_order() deterministic.

DETAILS:

The gx_sort_ht_order() routine sorts the halftone mask values.
These values are often the same and qsort() does not guarantee the
order of equal elements.  However, the order appears to be significant
for the output (differences in the nightly regression are seen on
different computers).  And it's also possible that this indeterminism
is part of the cluster regression problem.

This revision sorts equal masks by index value.

DETAILS:

On peeves the results of gs_matrix_invert() change depending on
whether or not compiler optimization is enabled if det is declared

storing the det value so it never get shortened to a float; by
declaring it as a double the unoptimized code should act the same.

The new variable save_count works for that.

Fix (pdfwrite): ICCBased color spaces in input PDF files, /Alternate space converted to
ICCBased in output PDF file.

Details:
Bug #690038 "Regression: ghostscript cannot read ghostscript produced PDF file."

The PDF interpreter always runs with (in effect) /UseCIEColor set to true. This converts
process spaces to CIE color spaces, which are emitted in the PDF as ICCBased color
spaces when using pdfwrite/ps2write.

However, for ICCBased color spaces this caused the /Alternate space of the ICCBased
space to become another ICCBased space, which is legal but silly, and caused the GS PDF
interpreter problems.

Modified the alternate space extraction routines so that they can use the UseCIE flag in
the color handling code to prevent the base space being  substituted with a CIE space,
when the parent space is an ICCBased space.

Also discovered in passing that zfsample.c and zfunc4.c use zcolor.h but the makefile
did not have dependencies for them. Fixed.

Fix (PS interpreter): .seticcspace leaving operand on stack.

Details:
Bug #690039 "failure to read ICC profiles generated by  
Adobe Photoshop Version 7 and 9".

ICC profiles in PostScript comments are handled by the comment 
parsing code in gs_icc.ps, using the .seticcspace operator. After
the recent change to handle colour in 'C' rather than PostScript,
the .seticcspace operator was not removing its argument from the 
operand stack.

This led to the comment processing for other purposes (specifically
pdfwrite in this case) generating errors, as the stack had been disturbed.

Altered the 'seticc' routine (called by .seticcspace) to remove the
operand from the stack. Also required altering the C colour processing
to increment the operand stack and pass the operand that way, when 
calling seticc for PDF interpretation.

Log:
Fix: ps2write. Very large TrueType fonts (>64Kb), when converted to Type 42
fonts for use in PostScript, must contain an /sfnts entry, which is an
array of strings comprising the TT font. There are restrictions on where
the original data is split to form the strings, which ps2write was not
honouring.

DETAILS:
Bug #690044 "Printer error (49,4C02) with ps2write output"
Bug #690012 "Error with ps2write output ps file when Unicode font is used"
Bug #690030 "Issue with NeverEmbed flag with ps2write device for some of the fonts"

There are five changes made to opdfread.ps in order to fix these problems:

1) The VM allocation mode used by opdfread is now local throughout, where 
   previously it was global. Judging by the number of local hacks, this 
   has frequently caused problems in the past.

2) There was a problem if a Font Descriptor contained neither a FontFile
   nor a FontFile2 entry. This was due to not embedding fonts, but caused
   the code to enter an infinte loop looking for one or the other.

3) After encountering the 'xref' in the PDF file, the code simply
   flushed the input file. This could potentially cause a problem if the
   EOF was not signalled back to the interpreter. This was theorised to
   be one of the issues, and fixed in passing, even though it was not
   in fact causing a problem.

4) The sfnts array is now built up from strings which follow the rules
   laid out in the Type 42 Font Format specification (tech note 5012)
   In particular the glyf table is now split on glyph boundaries. This
   only seems to cause problems for Adobe interpreters.

5) The 'post' table processing was modified to use an array of strings
   instead of a single string, if the table was >64Kb.

TT fonts : An initial implementation of GSUB.

DETAILS :

This is a partial fix for bug 689304  
"improper handling of vertical japanese text".
It works for brackets and punctuation signs orientation
when a vertical CJK text is painted with an 
Open Type font that defines a GSUB table.

The curent implementation always chooses a Format 1 
substitution table that substitutes single glyphs to single glyphs.
It doesn't account LangSys and feature tables.
Such logic is owned from the CJK patch attached to the bug 689304.
It may need further improvements.

Opposite to CJK group we implement it in C to allow
to it to work for other interpreters besides Postscript.

Interpreters may need to add an explicit call to 
the new function gs_type42_substitute_glyph_index_vertical
to involve the new functionality. This happens due to
a compatibility to PS interpreter that needs to call
the new function from the interpreter code rather than from
the graphics library.

See comments in code for more details.

Fix Windows stack overflow when NumRenderingThreads > 0. This was identified

Restore function of NumRenderingThreads > 0 that was inadvertently disabled
by previous commit to this module.

DETAILS:
The segfault was fixed by making sure that the clist structure was initialized
as a 'reader', but this included setting ymin=0, which meant that the following
test for crdev->render_threads == NULL always reverted to single threaded
rendering.

Note that this also will return the error if "clist_close_writer_and_init_reader"
returns an error value (<0), which is consistent with the behavior of the
clist_get_bite_rectangle function (NumRenderingThreads==0).

DETAILS:
Make sure that the clsit device is initialized to 'reader' mode before checking
the 'render_threads' element of the reader device. Prevents a SEGV when the
corresponding element of the 'writer' device structure was non-zero at the end
of the page since the render_threads table will not have been allocated and
some other (invalid) pointer would be used instead.

Fix (printer devices) : Allow retries for raster buffer allocation when BufferSpace is default.

DETAILS :

Bug 690055 "seg fault at higher resolutions". 

1. The old code implements a branch with increasing the buffer space
when a clist writer initialization fails with limitcheck and
the buffer size is default.
However the clist writer initialization never returns limitcheck,
it does return rangecheck instead. I guess the bug is in the
retry condition so I change it to rangecheck.

2. When the buffer space size is not default,
the old code crashes while setpagedevice,
if the device was opened. The clist initialization
returns with an inconsistent clist writer state 
and the device still has is_open flag set.
The new code resets is_open if the clist writer initialization
fails while setpagedevice.    

Thanks to Ray for participation.

Fix (clist writer) : Wrong compositor cropping when a shading is entirely clipped out.

DETAILS :

Bug 690078 "clist error in fts_41xx.xps and fts_39xx.xps".

clist_fill_path implements a special processing of a clipping path for shadings.
It falls back to gx_default_fill_path, which accounts both filling path and clipping patch.
Doing so, gx_default_fill_path passes the clipping path to the clist writer
as a high level object with calling clist_fill_path with a NULL color.

However the 2 calls to clist_fill_path differently processed the
case of the empty clipping : the first call did not return immediately
and restored the compositor cropping interval after returning from gx_default_fill_path, 
but the second call does return immediately and did not save the interval before
the clipping path is written. Thus the interval was restored to a wrong state 
that occasionally left from a preceeding filling operation.

This patch moves the check for empty clipping ahead the main
processing in clist_fill_path, so that the 2 calls do same thing
about the skipping of an empty clipping.

Initial support for aes decryption streams.

Details:

This adds an AESDecode filter to the interpreter which wraps the
new aes stream implementation.

[psi/zfaes.c psi/int.mak]

2008-09-24T11:07:43.989804Z Ralph Giles

Initial support for aes decryption streams.

Details:

This adds support for compiling the xyssl aes implementation added
in r8870, and a stream library wrapper which calls it.

Note that while an s_aes_set_key() procedure is provided to set a
key in an allocated stream state, it merely stores the key, and the
actual allocation of the aes_context structure and initialization
with the key happen the first time the stream's process() method is
called.

This is because a typical call to filter_read() in the interpreter
binding will end up memcpy()ing this to its own separately allocated
stream state. This preserves any static initialization performed by
the caller, such as passing in the key, but the xyssl aes_context
structure includes an internal pointer, and this is not updated when
the state is copied.

The internal pointer provides an indirect reference to support optional
storage of the sbox in secure memory. We're not using this feature, so
we could remove it, or update the pointer ourselves when our process()
method is first called. However, working around the issue by delaying
all opaque initialization until the stream is working is more robust.

Document the motivation for a source style item.

Details:

There has been some controvesy over the rule that single-statement 
bodies of control structs must be on their own line. Specifically:

  if (code < 0)
    return code;

instad of:

  if (code < 0) return code;

despite the latter being less obtrusive for common error checks.

Several developers have requested this because it allows setting a 
breakpoint directly on the return statement instead of a conditional 
return on the conditional line, or a breakpoint at the return inside
the single source line. This is therefore a practical issue, not just
one of readability and style.

Fix (graphics) : Scanline algorithm missed pixels at horizontal boundaries.

DETAILS :

Bug 689402 "Regression: differences in dina3_watermark.pdf".

The defect looks as an unimplemented branch.
which persists since Ghostscript 8.00 released on Decebmer 2002
or longer. We could get a similar problem when runnung Bug687832.pdf
with Ghostscript 7.04 (it can't handle dina3_watermark.pdf),
and our reading of its code shows that the problem presents in it.
So the problem is really antique.
 
The bottom of the problem is that fill adjustment was not applied 
to some horizontal segments. Due to that some pixel centers are not covered 
when they must be.

Move the dw source files from GLSRC to PSSRC. Items in GLSRC shouldn't

A number of these files, dwtext, dwtrace, and with some modifications 
dwimg don't actually have PSSRC dependencies, but it's easier to keep

2008-08-21T08:28:49.451522Z Ken Sharp

Silence an 'uninitialised variable' warning from Coverity.

Details:
Function initialisation is a bit round about. We pass a function pointer to
make_sampled_function, which assigns it to a local variable. That variable is passed to
gs_function_Sd_init, which immediately zeros it....

Since the pointer is never actually used, setting it to NULL should silence the warning.

[src/zfunc.c]

2008-08-20T23:58:43.536642Z Ralph Giles

Replace an abs() call with our any_abs() macro. Also remove an 
unnecessary math_.h include.

Details:

A call to abs() was added in r8942. Technically the prototype for this 
is in stdlib.h, but it's a built-in in most compilers so this didn't 
raise a warning. We do include stdlib.h elsewhere, usually for qsort() 
or malloc(), but abs() is only called from comment pseudo code; in 
practice the any_abs() macro or fabs() from math.h are used instead.
Because this isn't in an inner loop, speed isn't important, so we prefer 
the macro to a system header include for consistency.

Sine the beginning of repository history, gdevbit.c has included math.h, 
but I don't see any math library calls now, so it as been removed.

Fix __func__ on the default (non-C99) gcc build.

Details:

__func__ is a variable in C99. The earlier __FUNCTION__ is a magic 
preproccessor define in MSVC 7 and later, so the #if defined() clause 
enabled it. However, in GCC it is a magic string literal instead and so 
this clause did not enable it. Therefore we add an explicit check for 
the appropriate GCC version and define the same substitution for that 
compiler.

Use GNU iconv.h header in compatibility mode unless we link with GNU libiconv.
This is needed for compiling gs with gcc under HP-UX 11.11.

DETAILS:
gdevopvp.c uses some basic functionality from iconv library but none of GNU
extensions. So the native implementation is searched first.

GNU header uses different names in the library and defines some macros to map
iconv* names to GNU libiconv* names.

gcc looks for GNU version of iconv.h first, which requires a compatibility
flag to link with the native libraries.

So the compatibility flag is set when iconv* functions are not found but
libiconv* functions are found.

Update the fonts to those that the nightly and cluster regressions have
been using all along. The -Ifonts in the regression script was causing
the contents of Resource/Font to be ignored. These fonts are the std-8.11
version.

Note we probably next need to move to the newer version of these fonts
with the metrics fixed, but this is a first step.

DETAILS:
These are files that were part of the distribution 8.11 files that really
can't live in the Resource/Font directory since some applications or
test files will enumerate (with 'resourceforall') the directory and will
get errors if files are there that are not fonts.
___________________________________________________________________________
				README:
This is release 1.0.7pre22 of Valek Filippov's improved versions of the URW
type 1 font collection, repackaged for distribution with Ghostscript.

Cyrillized free URW fonts.

These fonts were made from the free URW fonts distributed with ghostcript.
There are NO changes in the latin part of them (I hope).
Cyrillic glyphs were added by copying suitable latin ones
and painting oulines of unique cyrillic glyphs in same style as the others.
For all modification pfaedit was used.
The license for result is (of course) same as for original fonts,
i.e. GPL with an exception that you can put these fonts in your own non-GPLed
documents. (Looks like LGPL from my point of view =).

The "sources" of these fonts in the native pfaedit format are available
at ftp://ftp.gnome.ru/fonts/sources

The great font editor pfaedit is available at http://pfaedit.sf.net.
That page also includes some links to fonts created by
George Williams -- the author of pfaedit.

Acknowledgements:
I would like to thank George Williams, the pfaedit's author and developer.
He is the most bug-reporter/feature-requester friendly developer
I ever saw in my not so short life. At some moment in the future
I must write a book about him: "George Williams and my best experience
in bug-reporting." George also greatly helped me bug-hunting these fonts,
explained to me some very important things about fonts and font design,
quickly adopted pfaedit to my needs (or pointed me to The Right Place in
documentation where I found better way of doing things).

I would like to thank Alexey Novodvorsky (aka AEN), who
pointed me to pfaedit and George Williams' fonts, explained
The Task to me. He is also one of the main participators in the
development of Sysiphus -- free repository of free software.
I didn't loose my time for compiling/installing and supporting
my linux box coz I used the result of Sysiphus developers' works.

I would like to thank Sergey Vlasov, who tested these fonts and reported
about bugs. Also he help me to make some bug-reports to George about
pfaedit bugs.

I would like Dmitry 40in, who did big QA for some font outlines, drawn some glyphs,
and explain some The Truths for me.

I would like to thank Vlad Harchev (aka hvv), who
proofread this text for me.

Also I have to thank RMS for GPL and URW for releasing the fonts
under it.

Thank you very much!

				README.tweaks
Nimbus Sans L Regular, Nimbus Mono L Regular, Nimbus Mono L Oblique
all come from a more recent version of the cyrillic URW fonts.

The hints on Nimbus Sans Regular have been modified in the
following ways:

25 June 2002

 - Added ghost hint to the top of 4 to keep it from being
   taller than the other digits.
 - Reduced the width of the left stem hint for H to 83
   (probably no real differences)
 - Changed the StemSnapV values from [78 85 94] to [78 83 92]
   (and fixed up StdVW accordingly)
   This corresponds to the values in the font (which are 83/93
   for lower case and upper case stems) better and makes
   the width-88 stems on M and N snap to to upper case 
   widths not lower-case widths.

29 June 2002

 - Removed odd vertical stem hints (width of horizontal
   stems) from f, F, t, E, yen sign, fi ligature, 
   fl ligature, AE ligature, R, Lstroke, OE ligature,
   lstroke, E" variants, t, variants, Eth, Dstoke, etc.
 - Fixed hints on 1 to be two ghost hints instead of one
   hint the height of the font
 - fix bottom stem of u to have integer coordinates
 - fixed hints on |
 - fixed hints on inverted exclamation mark

The hints on Nimbus Mono L Oblique have been modified in the
following ways:

 - Removed vertical stem hints from horizontal serifs on
   roman characters.

Fix: Genoa file renders incorrectly with current color code

Details:
A typo in the DeviceGray code used an array of doubles instead of floats, causing incorrect
values to be returned by currenthsbcolor.

Yet another minor change in the color work.

The test file 'foo0-ge-64k.pdf' demonstrated an error with NChannel processing. The old
PostScript based code simply ignored errors when setting the NChannel Colorant spaces, we
now do the same.

[src/zcolor.c]

2008-08-12T09:17:56.269901Z Ken Sharp

Another small change to the color code. The issue Michael has been looking at (#689950)
uses a DeviceN space with an NChannel Colorants dictionary. A mistake in the NChannel
parameter checking meant that the Colorants were never evaluated.

Fix (PS interpreter) : Wrong glyph positions with CIDFontType 2 WMode 1.

DETAILS :

Bug 688058 "Vertical Japanese characters shift upper right direction". 
Bug 689559 "centerline of vertical CJK text is wrong when external TrueType CJK font is used.". 

The old code wrongly computes glyph positions when a CIDFontType 2 WMode 1
font has no metrics and includes vmtx. The patch properly computes
the V vector using top side bearing and font bounding box.
See comments in code.

This patch fixes the glyph positions and closes the original bugs, 
but we still observe other 2 problems with the 688058 test case :

Fix (TT interpreter) : AVector bug workaround was wrong.

DETAILS :

Bug 689820 "rendering of embbeded font with very low quality".

The problem may happens only when a glyph is bigger than [-UnitsPerEm*2, UnitsPerEm*2].
The old code includes a workaround for an antique AVBector bug.
However for detecting it the old code supplied a glyph bbox 
with a wrong coordinate representation (scale).

The test case supplies a glyph, in which some points have x-coordinate
greater than UnitsPerEm*2, so the workaround
converted all curves into lines. 

The patch provides the right bbox data.

Fix (graphics) : A clist-based pattern supplied a wrong clipping box.

DETAILS :

Bug 689851 "Portions of output missing".

The test document paints an imagemask with a pattern 1 color, 
which contains a Type 1 image, which represents the graphics 
that one can view there.

The pattern appears so big as Ghostscript converts it into a clist.
When rendering the inner image to the clist,
It calls get_clipping_box to know whether the image portion
falls inside the painting area. But the old code
appears to use a wrong implementation of the get_clipping_box method, 
which was inherited from the page clist writer and retrieves the page size.
Here we need the pattern cell size instead the page size.
The patch sets up the right implementation for get_clipping_box.

Fix 'rangecheck in showpage' with NumRenderingThreads>0 if the lines requeested do
not range from 0 forward or height-1 backwards. Bug from customer 531 and 850.
Also fix problems with reversion to non-multithreaded rendering with file and memory
based BAND_LIST_STORAGE.

DETAILS:

The 'clist_get_band_from_thread' logic had a known deficiency if the device did not
request lines ranging from the top or bottom of the page. The fix assumes that the
normal direction is from line 0 forward unless the first line requested is the last
line of the page, setting the lookahead_direction. If a request is made for a band
other than the next one in the expected direction, the lookahead_direction is 
reversed and threads are started for the requested band and the bands following in
the new direction. This effectively recovers from an incorrect guess, but since
there is no limit on the number of times that the recovery is performed, also allows
for lines/bands to be requested in arbitrary order.

The customer uses a custom device, but the 'bit' devices were recently enhanced
with -dFirstLine= and -dLastLine= parameters to allow testing.

The re-opening of the clist files was changed to use 'a+' to avoid erasing the
file if multi-threaded rendering was shut down (clist_teardown_render_threads),
and rendering was reverted to single threaded mode.

The memory based clist (BAND_LIST_STORAGE=memory) was supplemented to better
track re-opening and allow for 'a' mode and avoid memory leak of the original
'base' named memfile structure. The customers mentioned above also use the
BAND_LIST_STORAGE=memory for performance reasons (realizing a 10% gain in
throughput over file based clist).

Fix (graphics) : Redundant patterns in clist (continued),

DETAILS :

Bug 689995 "segfault with 09-34.PS"

1. (the bug fix) A recent patch doesn't account patterns with no tile,
which represent an empty pattern.  
This change inserts checks for empty tiles
and process them with no optimization (redundantly), 
because they are small and are not cached.
See comments in code.

2. pcls->band_complexity.uses_color accummulated a pattern address bits instead
a real data. This bug was introduced when serializing colors to clist.
nevertheless this bug has no visible effect because 'pure' is overlayed with 
a tile address, which can't be equal to 0 or 0xffffff.
So formally this part of the change is algorithmically equivalent,
but it is important for redability. 

Note that when serializing a pattern to clist, 'uses_color' is not properly
computed and needs further development. see new bug 689997.

Minor change : removed the second call to gs_dc_get_pattern_id for a faster code.

Fix (graphics) : Redundant patterns in clist.

DETAILS :

Bug 689865 "clist stores redundant patterns".

The change is pretty simple because the clist reader already implememnts
a pattern cache. We just add pattern id to gx_clist_state
and provide a short format (just the id) when writing and reading
a pattern color to/from clist at second time. A new function gs_dc_get_pattern_id
allows to access the pattern id through closures of color elements.

Note it remembers up to 2 pattern ids for a band
(one for the specific band, and another for "all bands").
A better way would be to remember all patterns cached for a band,
but it would need to save all cached ids individually for each band while clist writing.
We don't want to enlarge the clist writer storage now.

Minor change : Some dependencies of gxclpath.c were missed in makefile.

Fix (graphics) : A slow stroking with big patterns.

DETAILS :

Bug 689966 "c329.bin hang with bitcmyk in clist code".


1. The stroking algorithm includes a branch for a 'faster' rasterizing
with an idempotential color. That branch paints each stroke independently of others.
However that branch doesn't apply an optimization for big patterns,
which the general filling algorithm implements. It caused the too slow rendering,
because a clist-based pattern is played back for each parallelogram.
This change disables the 'faster' srtoking with big patterns,
so that the faster filling algorithm works fine for stroking.

2. Revert the revision 8851 change, which was a temporary workaround for the problem,
The default value for MAX_PATTERN_BITMAP_SIZE is now restored back to 1Mb.

Update change logs for the 8.53 release.

[doc/Changes.htm doc/History8.htm doc/Details8.htm doc/Details.htm]

Version 8.63 (2008-08-01)

This is the fourth scheduled release in the stable Ghostscipt 8.6x series. It corresponds to the 1.53 release of GhostPDL.

Approximately 238 bugs have been fixed since version 8.62. Of particular note are robustness and performance improvements with large files, invalid PDF, and font handling.

The major new feature of this release is multithreaded rendering. This can be requested by passing -dNumRenderingThreads=n on the command line. The input document is first parsed, and then each page is split into n bands which are rendered concurrently. This can provide a significant reduction in processing time on multi-core systems.

Images are now always interpolated in their source colorspace. This improves correctness for XPS documents and avoids bypassing the custom color management callbacks for interpolated images. Interpolation and color management are both expensive operations, so this affects performance with large images. The effect can be positive or negative depending on the file and the target resolution. If performance is a problem, we suggest running with -dNOINTERPOLATION.

Support for OpenPrinting Vector devices has been upgraded to version 1.0.

There are two new devices in this release, both experimental. Behdad Esfahbod has contributed a cairo output device which uses the cairo graphics library to generate PDF, SVG, EPS, or PNG files, based on the requested filename extension. The svgwrite device directly outputs Scalable Vector Graphics, the W3C XML vector graphics format. Both support only vector art at this point; text and images will not be represented efficiently.

Incompatible changes

The maximum number of color components has been reduced to 8 (from 252) as a performance improvement. Eight is the largest number commonly used and the largest number for which we support continuous tone images. Users with special needs can restore the previous behavior by setting the GS_CLIENT_COLOR_MAX_COMPONENTS preprocessor symbol to the required number of components at compile time.

The -Z: debugging option now uses 'realtime' instead of 'usertime' when reporting timing information on unix-like systems. This has always been the case on windows-like systems.

Obsolete makefiles for the DesqView environment have been removed.

Fix problem with NumRenderingThreads>0 with devices that request data from

[src/gxclthrd.c]

2008-07-29T19:11:31.677116Z Alex Cherepanov

Add support to NULL pointers in t_structs or t_astructs objects to execstack
operator. Thanks to Ken for the analysis. Bug 689535.

DETAILS:
The issue is to do with devices handling patterns as high-level objects, which
is why it affects pdfwrite (which can handle patterns itself) but not regular
rendering. In zpcolor.c, pattern_paint_prepare(), there are two control paths,
one for devices which handle patterns as high-level objects, and one for
devices which don't. If the device can't handle high level objects, we install
a pattern accumulation device.

In this case, the flag internal_accum is set, we create the pattern accumulator
device and open it:

    if (internal_accum) {
	gs_memory_t *storage_memory = gstate_pattern_cache(pgs)->memory;

	pdev = gx_pattern_accum_alloc(imemory, storage_memory, pinst,
"pattern_paint_prepare");
	if (pdev == 0)
	    return_error(e_VMerror);
	code = (*dev_proc(pdev, open_device)) ((gx_device *) pdev);
...
...
}

Later the two control paths rejoin and we put some objects on the execution
stack:

    push_mark_estack(es_other, pattern_paint_cleanup);
    ++esp;
    make_istruct(esp, 0, pdev);

Now notice that we construct the structure on esp using pdev, but we *don't*
create pdev if we can handle patterns, so its left as NULL and we end up
pushing an empty t_struct.

Leo's question in comment 10 is whether this is legal, the answer appears to be
yes, but its debatable. 

In pattern_paint_finish we do this:

    gx_device_forward *pdev = r_ptr(esp - 1, gx_device_forward);

    if (pdev != NULL) {
	gx_color_tile *ctile;
	int code = gx_pattern_cache_add_entry((gs_imager_state *)igs,
					  pdev, &ctile);

That is, if the structure *isn't* NULL we do something with it, we ignore it if
it is NULL. Either way we then do this:

    esp -= 3;

Removing all the objects from the execution stack that we added. Notice that
the structure we pushed onto the execution stack isn't actually 'executed', its
just data used by the pattern handler.

Now, all this works just fine in normal practice, however the job here uses a
CIEBased colour space, and being from an Adobe application it tries to set the
ColorRendering. Since we don't implement a ColorRendering resource category,
this causes an error (handled in a stopped context).

The default error handler uses execstack, and this is where the actual error
finally occurs, because execstack can't handle the empty structure.

Fix (printer) : A check for buffer space overflow was dramatically overestimated.

DETAILS :

In the old code :

    new_height < max_ulong/(mem_space + (new_height * pdf14_trans_buffer_size))

Where pdf14_trans_buffer_size is (raster * NUM_PDF14_BUFFERS).

equivalent to :

    
    new_height * (mem_space + (new_height * (raster * NUM_PDF14_BUFFERS))) < max_ulong


equivalent to :

    new_height * mem_space + new_height * new_height * raster * NUM_PDF14_BUFFERS < max_ulong


So it counts new_height quadratically, but it must be the linear multiple by the raster.

Debugged with the test case of the bug 689982.
It creates a 15Mb raster, but could not switch off the banding
even with -dMaxBitmap=1000000000 .

Fix (clist) : Skip writing unuseful data with linear color triangle.

DETAILS :

This fixes a minor problem what was discovered while working on 
bug 689918 "Ghostscript 8.62 and 8.63 segmentation fault".

cmd_write_trapezoid_cmd wrote an unused data to clist when 
processing a linear color triangle. The variables ybot, ytop are never used
while a clist interpretation. In same time the data are not initialized
in that case, so they imply an indeterministic content and length of the clist.

Fix (True Type font loader) : Can't work around unsorted 'loca' when 'loca' is not loaded.

DETAILS :

Bug 689893 "Regression: CID font emulation is broken." 

A work around against unsorted 'loca' and its recent improvements
assume that 'loca' presents in sfnts. It is not true
when a CID font is emulated with a True Type disk font,
because in that case the font machinery delay loading
'loca' and 'glyp' elements until a real request from a document.
For more details see comments added in code.

Fix (PDF interpreter) : A temporary work around huge images with a soft mask.

DETAILS :

Bug 689080 "PDF Crash with Transparency at 2880 dpi".

 
This is a temporary workaraound for the problem,
see comment in code.

With this patch the test case doesn't crash,
but it needs  -dBufferSpace=500000000 to complete in 15 minutes
on Core 2 Duo 2.4 MHz with debug build.
The test case is pretty big anyway - it generates a 4.2 gigapixel raster.

Thankls to Ray for obtaining the buffer space from a device.

I think the old code is incorrect because it looks applying the
mask two times : first when installing a mask buffer with
.begintransparencymaskimage in doimagesmask, and second time when
processing a Type 103 image in C code. The raster difference
is likely caused by that. I don't perform a deeper analyzis,
because it's a temporary fix which needs to be replaced soon.
All that is written in this paragraph are not sure,
because there is no time for a deeper analyzis before 8.63 release.
When we'll complete Type 103 images (with rasterizing after clist
and with a proper handling in pdfwrite), .begintransparencymaskimage
will likely go away.

Fix for Bug 689246.  When performing interpolation, the interpolation is now performed in the source colorspace as opposed to the device space.  Custom color callback is no longer bypassed by direct concretization as it was previously.

DETAILS:

Previous code would take device color 8 bit values and do the interpolation.  That portion of the code is the same.   For cases where we have nondevice color the handling is now different.  Indexed colors are mapped to their base space and interpolated.  This is followed by a remap operation.  Device independent colors are interpolated followed by a remap operation.  

Note that for cases where there is a significant enlargement occurring and we are not in a device color space, there can be a performance cost due to current inefficiencies in our color remapping operations.  This can be costly if you have a CMYK CRD MLUT for example.  There is currently a project underway to improve the efficiency of the color flow.  For the current time, if this is an issue, improved speed can be achieved by invoking -dNOINTERPOLATION

Change the default GS_CLIENT_COLOR_MAX_COMPONENTS to 8 (down from 252).
This improves the performance for files with many images. This limits
the number of DeviceN components and the number of separations that
can be generated in the default build and causes 'limitcheck' errors
on CET tests that attempt to set a 250 component DeviceN space.

THIS IS NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE, but the change in ths single file
so this can readily be rebuilt by customers that need more components
or anyone that demands conformance to this implementation dependent
result on the CET. Note that not all Adobe implementations support
250 components as CPSI does.

Currently only the tiffsep and psdcmyk devices can generate more than
8 separations, and then only when USE_COMPRESSED_ENCODING is used to
fit more than 8 components in a 64-bit color value.

This partly reverts rev 7159.

Fix (pdfwrite): limit checking of CIDfonts for 'fixed width' property.

Details:
Bug 689963 "Infinite loop converting PostScript to PDF"

In fact the loop is not infinite, but it does take a long time. When checking to see if a
font is non-proportional, ie all glyphs have the same width, and the font is a CIDFont, we
did not stop testing when the CID exceeded the maximum CID in the font instance. Instead
we continued to the full CID range (0xffffffff). Because the TrueType code returns a
default for missing glyphs if the font was truly non-proportional then it would take a
long time to search the entire range.

(zfcid1.c): In z11_enumerate_glyph, check the requested CID against the CIDCount for the
font. Return a rangecheck if we exceed it.

I believe only pdfwrite uses this code currently.

Fix (graphics) : Write tile id into a pattern clist.

DETAILS :

Bug 689818 "Regression: Test file imagemask-with-pattern.ps fails with banding and pbmraw ".

The old code doesn't write a tile id when writing the tile to clist,
because the clist interpreter doesn't use tile id.
This causes a failure after we implemented clist-based patterns.
While playing back a pattrn clist to a page clist writer device, 
the clist writer does need a tile id
for choosing an entry of an internal hash table.

Actually the failure happens due to a strange check 
"tile->id != gx_no_bitmap_id" in 
clist_strip_tile_rectangle in gxclrect.c ln 479.
It is not clear what it was intended for.
When a tile id is zerfo, the check skips writing tile size to clist,
so that a zerodevide happens during the clist playback.
 
We decided to provide meanful ids 
because the clist writer needs them anyway.
Fixing the check to be a subject of a separate patch
(if a fix is really necessary).

This patch simply writes tile id when the clist
is for a pattern. A new nacro IS_CLIST_FOR_PATTERN(cdev)
Defines the condition for that. 
Some internal functions change prototypes
with adding a new boolean argument for_pattern to know
whether a clist is for a pattern.

Fix (pdfwrite): Images ina DeviceN space with more than 60 inks caused a crash.

Details:
Bug #689864 "Regression: 09-34.PS core dumps with pdfwrite"

When emitting an image, using the Flate encoder, the number of colorants in 
the DeviceN space was not checked against the maximum permitted. Since the 
encoder uses a fixed buffer whose size depends on the maximum number of inks, this
could cause a write beyond the end of the buffer.

(spngp.c) Return error if the number of colorants in the space
          exceeds the maximum permitted.

Parse common color space keys in JPXDecode filtered images and pass them
to the filter, allowing JPX-encoded CMYK images to display properly.
Fixes bug 688807.

DETAILS:

The fundamental issue is that the jasper library does not support the
ISO 15444-2 (JPX) extensions to the JP2 format for handling full ICC
and CMYK color spaces. So while the the PDF image dictionary and the
JPX streams both specify a CMYK ICC profile describing the image, jasper
ignores the extended colr boxes and marks the image as sRGB + an unknown
component, just based on it having three or more components. Our stream
implementation used this information and tried to return RGB pixels when
the graphics library expected CMYK, causing errors or hangs.

Jasper should be amended to handle these extensions. However, since in
PDF a color space in the image's stream dictionary overrides what is in
the stream, I felt implementing the override was the more useful
resolution.

This patch doesn't handle all color spaces, just Device* and ICCBased,
which are the most common. In the case of ICCBased spaces, we try to
look up the alternate, and use that if it is a Device* space; otherwise
we guess based on the number of components.

Clean up the state machine in s_jpxd_process.

DETAILS:

The state machine didn't always respect the calling conventions for
filter process routines, and could return '0' (more input needed) when
'last' was true (no more input exists).

Also, the jas_stream member of the filter state isn't currently
necessary and has been moved to s_jpxd_decode_image(). Originally
it was envisioned that the jas_stream could seek on the filter's
source ghostscript stream and so would need a longer lifetime than
we're currently using. This has now been simplified to a local variable.

Fix (clist writer) : Indeterminizm writing a degenerate curve.

DETAILS :

Bug 689911 Shifting raster data, Windows MSVC 8 non-debug build. 

In function cmd_put_path the variable 'prev' was wrongly localized 
in the loop body when need to save/pass data from the previous cycle.
It worked fine with debug build, because the compiler 
always commits variables to RAM for debug purpose. 
With release build the variable 'prev' never changes 
because formally speaking the program never uses its value
after it is initialized.

The bug persists since the repository was created on March 9 2000.
The old behavior may be indeterministic.

With MSVC8 the effect is occasionaly visible when a degenerate curve
{x y x y x y x y} is written into clist.

Fix (graphics) : Clean image enumerator before releasing it.

DETAILS :

Bug 688845 "Segmentation Fault on EPS 2 PDF conversion", comment #38.

Adobe Illustrator creates a Postscript document, 
in which an image data procedure executes 'save',
and the corresponding 'restore' appears after the image end.
DCue to that the image enumerator is freed at a higher save level than
it was allocated, so that gs_free_object works idle. 
Nevertheless pointers must not in the structure,
because they may point to blocks already released
by the client's subclass method for end_image.
Leaving them uncleaned caused a real crash in the garbager - see bug 688845.

The patch defines the new function gs_image_free_enum,
which is intendend for a safe releasing of an image enumerator
from Postscript interpreter.
It cleans the entire subclassed enumerator,
including all possible pointers created by subclasses.
All end_image implementations,
which may be called from Postscript interpreter,
must call this function for releasing image enumerators.

The 'memory' pointer moved from subclasses to gx_image_enum_common.
We believe that in the old code all subclasses define and initialize it.

Working on this patch we suspected memory leaks 
from image enumerators with some devices.
Particularly we suspect that subclasses if gx_device_vector
(pdfwrite, ps2write, etc.) never release image enumerators (not sure).
This patch does not do any attempt to re[pair such leaks, 
because we want the new code doesn't
change the behavour too much in order to simplify the testing.
A work on leaks to be done separately.

Fix (stroking) : Prevent unpainted gaps between neighbour strokes that could appear due to stroke adjustment.

DETAILS :

Bug 687974 "pdf file has banding with ghostscript but not with acrobat". 

The test case includes a gradient, which is represented
as a set of paralel strokes. Due to stroke widths equals to fractional pixels, 
stroke adjustment shifts some of them so that
an unpainted gap appears between strokes and the gradient looks striped.
Note the test document is created with Quark Express 4.11 .

This patch implements a hewristic recognizer for parallel contacting strokes
and suppresses stroke adjustment for them. See comments in code 
for more details.

Note that the recognizer data are associated with a device but they
are not a device property. We store them in a device structure because
we haven't got an associated structure in the graphic state,
and we don't want to introduce one now against extra complexity
with memory management. Also the recognizer code
Appears to be distributed along multiple functions and we would like
to apply a better incapsulation. Nevertheless the encapsulation
would cause CPU time expense for multiple small function calls
unless we create new macros. So commonly we're unhappy of
this code but we don't see a better solution.

Also note that the recognizer data is copied from/to clipper
device when the stroking algorithm installs and deinstalls a clipper.
So the data actually is not a property of a device.
Also they're not a part of graphic state because they must live
across gsave/grestore (the test case requires so).

Fix (True Type font loader) : Work around incorrect numGlyphs.

DETAILS :

Bug 689516 "problem reading PDF: Failed to interpret TT instructions (ref 7814)".

The bug report supplies a PDF document, which embeds a TT font
with a too small numGlyphs. The loca table contains more glyphs and 
they are referenced in a text. The font is incorrect, but Acrobat handles the document.

This patch checks whether there are glyphs behind numGlyphs and 
extends numGlyphs to cover them. Also improved error handling in ttfmain.c .

Besides that, now we print a warning about an incorrect numGlyphs
in release build. The olkd code did with debug buil only.
I believe that users need to know whether a font is broken, and that
its rendering is hewristic.

Enhancement (graphics) : Delay applying type 1 raster patterns until clist interpretation (continued 4).

DETAILS :

The old code assumes that a pattern always fits into the clist writer buffer.
However ppmraw -r400 176-01.ps violates this assumption.
This patch implements a subdivision of a pattern into slices,
each of which is smaller than the buffer size.

1. The new function cmd_get_buffer_space retrives maximal available space
   in the clist writer buffer (gxclutil.c).

2. cmd_put_drawing_color now implements a cycle for slicing big patterns.
   Each slice writes to clist as a separate clist instruction (gxclpath.c).

3. gx_dc_pattern_write_raster drops the constraint that the pattern
   fits into a single buffer (gsptype1.c).

4. The clist interpreter is enhanced with composing a pattern from slices
   (gxclrast.c).

Fix for 689811.  Enables custom color callback when banding of images is occurs.

DETAILS:
This was a simple fix which puts the callback structure address into gslib_ctx instead of in the graphic state.  This fixes the customer's issue.  The postscript interface for custom color remains as it was with this commit.  Soon, in the future, we will be changing to a C API interface.  There does remain an issue with respect to object type tagging.  If high level images occur with banding, the object type is different than if there was no banding.

Rename the cairo device parameter CairoSurface to CairoOption.

Better handling of libcairo errors.

Add (untested) support for passing a libcairo context pointer
through the CairoContext device parameter for rendering to a
client drawable.

Details:

CairoSurface was renamed with the expectation that it will in
the future take additional options that might not be surface
specific. Also, the CairoSurface name was chosen with the idea
that a client could pass a pointer to an already allocated
cairo_surface_t, but it's just as easy to pass the result
of calling cairo_create() on such a surface as a context
pointer. Therefore we've added CairoContext and renamed the
old CairoSurface parameter to CairoOptions.

The new command line would be:

 gs -sDEVICE=cairo -sCairoOptions=ps -o - test.ps

to set the output format to ps.

New 'cairo' output device using the libcairo graphics library.
Patch by Behdad Esfahbod.

Details:

This output device uses the LGPL cairo library to create file output in
a variety of formats. Currently supported are png, svg, pdf, ps, eps.

The output format can be specified with the CairoSurface device
parameter. If this parameter isn't set, the device will guess
based on the filename extension given in OutputFile. Thus, these
two command lines are equivalent:

gs -sDEVICE=cairo -sCairoSurface=svg -o tiger.svg examples/tiger.eps
gs -sDEVICE=cairo -o tiger.svg examples/tiger.eps

Other output formats are selected like so:

gs -sDEVICE=cairo -o tiger.png examples/tiger.eps
gs -sDEVICE=cairo -o tiger.pdf examples/tiger.eps
gs -sDEVICE=cairo -o tiger.ps examples/tiger.eps

Only vector drawing is implemented at this point; images and text are
handled by fallback and will not give compact results. The resolution
for rasterization is set by the -r parameter as usual.

This is the "final" merge of the mtrender (multi-threaded clist rendering)
branch into the trunk. The default behavior is still the same, i.e., the
clist rendering is done in the same thread as the parsing (main thread).

The 'gsmalloc' memory allocator now ALWAYS uses a mutex to lock accesses
in case it is used by a multi-threaded client. This was determined to
result is less than 1% performance hit on a single threaded client.

Refer to the log messages on the mtrender branch for details on the
design of the multi-threaded clist rendering, but the summary is that
-dNumRenderingThreads=# (default 0) determines the number of background
threads REQUESTED for rendering bands. If the platform doesn't support
threads, or if there is an error starting the threads from the clist_
get_bits_rectangle_mt hook, single threaded rendering will be used.

The number of threads may be less than the requested number if the
number of bands is less than the request, or if there is an error
setting up threads (as many as can be created, up to the request will
be used). The -Z: debug switch emits status messages indicating how
many threads are requested (-dNumRenderingThreads) and the number that
is actually used.

Many files show little if any improvement with multi-threaded clist
rendering since they are dominated by the clist writing time, or by
the time required to write the output. No files seen to date show a
performance hit greater than aobut 3%. Setting NumRenderingThreads
to a count higher than the number of CPU cores available does not
seem to help or hurt much, but there is overhead (per page) with
starting threads and allocating band buffers, so a very large count
is not productive.

The best performance seen on an Intel Core 2 Duo system, on a
particular file is about a 75% performance improvement (completing
the page in 57% of the single threaded time). This time did not
include writing a file (output to /dev/null).

In order to prevent memory mutex (locking) contention from slowing
down multi-threaded clist rendering, each thread uses a 'chunk'
wrapper on NON-GC the non-gc memory allocator. Each chunk allocator
is thread-safe/instantiated, so the locking only occurs on chunk
allocations to the wrapped (target) memory allocator.

The 'BAND_LIST_STORAGE=mmeory' option has been supplemented to allow
multiple concurrent threads to read the clist 'memfile'.

The "autoconf" files (configure.ac and Makefile.in) have been improved
to hook the 'posix' pthreads if available, so linux and Mac OS/X will
be able to support the multi-threaded clist rendering.

Use 'realtime' instead of 'usertime' for -Z: timing information. On some
systems (Windows) these are equivalent, but on linux, 'usertime' is the
time for the current thread which interferes with timing collection on
different threads (multi-threaded rendering did not include any time for
the threads). INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE, but this is only debug info.

2008-05-08T21:28:30.163536Z Ray Johnston

Allow some compile time constants that affect performance to be set as
/D compiler flags (via XCFLAGS makefile macro).

MAX_BITMAP_PATTERN_SIZE controls when the clist pattern accumulator is used,
and on machines with a decent amount of RAM, the default of 1 Mb is too
small and causes the slower clist method to be used too often. Setting this
to 32 Mb is probably better on hosts.

The GS_CLIENT_COLOR_MAX_COMPONENTS default of 252 is needed for Adobe CPSI
compatibility and for RIPS that want to use a large number of DeviceN
colorants, but this increases the size of some allocations and slows down
performance and is much too large for printers. Setting this to 6 or 8 is
probably plenty.

Add support for recursive mutex on posix. Multiple threads that perform
'locking' before calling an object's finalize need this to prevent
deadlock if the finalize calls 'free'. This protection is standard on
Windows, but PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE attribute is not available on
many systems.

The method, using pthread_self and pthread_equal, was extracted from
a web information page and tested on linux.

NB: The multi-threaded clist rendering no longer needs this since
the 'chunk' memory wrapper calls the 'finalize' function without
locking, so the deadlock no longer occurs.

Fix memory leak observed with DEBUG=1 build on mtrender branch. The
'levels' and 'bit_data' of halftones were being leaked when halftones
were set by the clist reader.

DETAILS:

Since the 'dht.rc' was filled with 0's, the rc.memory would cause the
gx_imager_dev_ht_install to copy the order (mem_diff would be true).
The gx_ht_copy_ht_order would make a copy, but the one passed in
was never freed. Since the 'src' component information was cleared
during the install, gx_ht_read_and_install needs to save a copy of
the components so that the orders can be released.

So here we complete the change started in revision 8655.

implement color serialization for raster patterns.
The old function gx_dc_pattern_write got minor changes about buffer localization.

Fix (graphics) : Wrong pattern phase when pattern applies to a band with non-zero origin.

DETAILS :

The old code computes pattern phase modulo rep_width, rep_height.
It appears wrong when pattern step is much bigger than the pattern bbox.
Really the bbox determines the painting area as rep_width, rep_height,
but the phase to be computed modulo pattern step.
Besides that, the old code aplies a wrong sign, which is oposite to a band offset.

This bug has no effect with Postscript interpreter, because 
currently patterns never apply after banding,
but it will change with the next patch.
With no banding the phase is always zero.

Other interpreters may need additional improvements
(we suspect they are bug-to-bug compatible).

Fix (graphics) : Convert imagemask into a clipping path when painting a big pattern.

DETAILS :

Bug 689440 "PostScript file generates infinitely large temp file".

In the past we implemented a conversion of imagemask intoi a clipping path 
for a faster painting a shading color. Now we do same for big type 1 patterns.

1. Enhanced the condition in gximask.c for passing big patterns.

2. In gximask.c filter out degenerate rectangles, 
   which can't be painted with gx_device_color_fill_rectangle.

3. Set a pure black color in gsimage.c, 
   because patterns can't convert with gx_device_black.

4. In gxacpath.c added the default copy_mono method 
   to the clip list accumulator device in order to handle 
   imagemask with the pure color set by (3).

5. In gximask.c added a proper setup of device width and height
   to clip list accummulator, because gx_default_copy_mono needs them.

6. In gximask.c gx_device_retain is now called on errors.
   The old code does not call it, and we think it caused memory leaks
   in some rare cases.

This patch changes the behavior with shadings, because the old code paints
imagemask with the shading color to clip list accummulator.
The new code does with pure black, so that now the clipping is not
restricted with the shading area or the shading BBox.
But we believe that the final result should be same 
and the performance should be some faster.

Note we keep the call to gx_dc_pattern2_clip_with_bbox_simple
in gx_image_fill_masked_end rather now it is always idle.
Doing so for the case if this change will need undoing for shadings.

The new code doesn't use the writing of big patterns into clist,
which was done with recent revision 8655. 
That change appears unneccessary for this particular bug. 
However we want to keep it in HEAD branch because it may be useful 
for further impeovements when imagemask produces a too big clipping list.

This patch causes a minor raster difference with Bug688396.pdf .
Delaying it for better times.

Enhancement (graphics) : Delay applying big patterns until page clist interpretation.

DETAILS :

This is a preparation for fixing 
the bug 689440 "PostScript file generates infinitely large temp file".

The old code decomposes the imagemask into rectangles,
each of which decomposed the pattern color into a huge list of rectangles.
See more about the old code in Comment #11 of the bug 689440.
Now we delay the decomposition until the page clist playback.

This patch reduces the clist file size for the bug 689440
from 355GB to an acceptable size of 316Mb. A further shortening
is possible as explained in (5) below. But the rasterization time is still
unacceptably long - more than 48 hours. It will be improved
in a next step with converting imagemask with pattern color
into a painting of a pattern color with a mask clip device.

1. The old functions gx_dc_pattern_write, gx_dc_pattern_read actually 
are generic functions for multiple color types,
which simply return an error. Renamed them into 
gx_dc_cannot_write, gx_dc_cannot_read.

2. Implemented new gx_dc_pattern_write, gx_dc_pattern_read for clist-based patterns.
They copy pattern clist data to/from page clist. Currently this code
doesn't try to compress the data, but probably we'll need to do that.

3. Changed a condition in gxclimag.c to pass imagemask
with a clist-based pattern color to clist writer.
Also moved some checks to provide image matrix to be computed
when the new condition is true.

4. Added more functions into gxclist.c, gxclist.h for accessing 
data of a clist-based pattern.

5. gx_dc_pattern_read now constructs pattern cache and stores the
clist-based pattern "tile" to it. The clist reader releases the cache before exiting a band.
We will need an optimization agains redundant writing of patterns into page clist.
This necessary optimization to be done in a next step.

6. Propagated error codes in gxclread.c, gdevfax.c for easier debugging.

7. Improved debug printing in gxp1fill.c to designate
recursive calls to clist interpreter when a clist-based pattern
in interpreted while a page clist playback.

8. Added new accessors into gxpcmap.c, which are needed 
to access pattern cache while a page clist interpretation.

9. Updated dependencies in makefiles. 

10. Fixed the dependenco of gxdcolor.c on gxdevcli_h, which was missed before this change.

11. Added the pattern color type into the list in gxdcolor.c,
because now we need to write it into clist. An old comment
reads that it was not included against unuseful reference to 
pattern stuff in a Postscript Language Level 1 build.
The reference now appears, and this is unfortunate.
We think that level 1 builds are not important in nowadays.
On necessity it may be improved in a separate change.

Implement loading of OpenType CFF font as a CIDFont resource in PDF reader.
Bug 689763, customers 531, 850.

DETAILS:
PDF can use OpenType font with ordinary CFF data as a CIDFont. Such a font is
referenced by /CIDFontType2 and may have /CIDToGIDMap table. The following
changes have been done to support this usage.

- A flag that forces CIDFont generation was added to CFF font loader.
- When the flag is on, CFF font is converted to a Type 9 CIDFont.
- The FontSet resource is returned by the value from the font loader
  because it can be of either Font or CIDFont type,
- Since CIDMap has no effect on CIDFont Type 9, CIDToGIDMap is interpreted
  by PDF reader to modify GlyphDirectory to the same effect.
- Unused CIDMap is no longer generated for CIDFontType2 objects that are not

New version caches the DICT block that correspond to the Private stream.

2. The operands of ROS operator are too small and correspond to some random
values from the standard string table. The patch doesn't attempt to find
the right values nut converts the fetched names to strings to avoid a

Enhancement (graphics) : Generalize prototypes of color serialization methods for big color data.

DETAILS :

This is a preparation for fixing 
the bug 689440 "PostScript file generates infinitely large temp file".

The old serialization methods assume that color data can fit into a small buffer.
Now we want to drop this constraint to allow to write big patterns into clist.
See comment in code for details.

This change is algorithmically equivalent.
This patch adds a new argument to color serialization methods.
For a while the new actual parameter is always 0,
and the (untrivial) methods check for it.

Fix (PDF interpreter): Optionally omit rendering of /.notdef glyphs
from TrueType fonts.

Details:
Bug #689757 "Extra square characters rendering PDF file".

When rendering glyphs in a TrueType font, and the glyph is not present
in the font, GS (correctly) draws the /.notdef glyph (or glyph ID 0)
instead. Under some conditions, however, Acrobat does not do so, but
does leave a 'gap' apparently corresponding to the width of the
original glyph (if a /Widths array is present), or the width of the
/.notdef glyph.

Exactly what causes Acrobat to do this is unclear. In the thread for
bug 687929 it was suggested that Acrobat was substituting a standard
font with a /.notdef defined as an empty glyph. However changing the
font name had no effect.

Using a pdfwrite-produced PDF file, if I remove the symbolic flag
from the font, and any direct reference to /.notdef in the Encoding
/Differences array, then Acrobat does not display the /.notdef 
glyph. However, starting with a Distiller-produced PDF file, and
either altering the font to symbolic, or adding a direct /.notdef
to the Encoding, or both, makes no difference, Acrobat still does
not render the /.notdef glyph.

The behaviour of Acrobat is probably technically incorrect, but
we need to attempt to render files similarly, if at all possible.
However, since the appearance of a /.notdef is usually indicative
of an error, this has been made optional.

We can't substitute a space glyph for the /.notdef as has been
suggested, because we can't guarantee the existence of a space glyph
(eg Arabic, which has no space) and can't guarantee that the space
makes no marks even if present.

However, we still want to apply the Width of the glyph, so that
spacing works out correctly, if we simply skip the /.notdef glyph
then words may collide, as in the case of the file for this bug.
This means we must run the glyph through the text routines, as the
width is applied there.

A new user parameter '/RenderTTNotdef' controls whether glyphs
named /.notdef in a TrueType font should be rendered or not. This
is also controlled by a systemdict parameter /RENDERTTNOTDEF. The
PDF interpreter will set the user parameter to the same value as
the systemdict parameter, allowing this to be controlled from the
GS command line.

The user parameter defaults to 'true' which renders TrueType /.notdef
glyphs (so that these are properly rendered in PostScript), the 
RENDERTTNOTDEF systemdict parameter defaults to 'false', which is
used by the PDF interpreter to set the user parameter, and therefore
disables rendering of TT /.notdef glyphs in PDF files.

Fix (pdfwrite): Incorrect cmap aubtables written for 'non-symbolic' TrueType
 fonts, when PDF/A output is enabled.

Details:
Bug #689754 "Substituting .notdef for "german umlauts" when generating PDFA".

Normally when writing TrueType fonts GS emits 'symbolic' TrueType fonts, and
correctly outputs both a 1,0 and 3,0 cmap subtable (with appropriate character
offsets, see section 5.5.5 of recent PDF specs).

However, when PDF/A output is enabled, and the TT font to be output only
contains glyphs from the Adobe Latin set, and these are ordered in
accordance with that set, then we emit a 'non-symbolic' TT font. (For PDF/A
we do not emit 'symbolic' fonts, if the font is not 'non-symbolic' then we
write a CIDFont instead.)

However, when writing the non-symbolic font, we continued to write the same
cmap subtables. Acrobat does not use the 3,0 subtable with non-symbolic fonts,
and falls back to the Mac Roman (1,0) subtable instead. For many glyphs this
works correctly, but if the font is WinAnsi compliant, and the glyph is one
of those for which the character position differs between Mac and Windows,
then the glyph cannot be found by Acrobat.

By writing a 3,1 (Windows Unicode) cmap subtable we can ensure this does not
happen, as Acrobat will use this in preference to the 1,0 subtable.

(gdevpsf.h) Add a new TrueType writing control flag WRITE_TRUETYPE_UNICODE_CMAP
 This is used to control whether we write a 3,0 or 3,1 cmap subtable.

(gdevpdtb.c) When setting options for TrueType font writing, if we are
 writing PDF/A, then set the new flag so we get a 3,1 Unicode subtable.

(gdevpsft.c) Create new boilerplate for a type 6 Mac Roman subtable,
 followed by a type 4 Windows Unicode subtable. Create a new routine
 'write_unicode_cmap_6' which uses the new boilerplate to write this
 kind of subtable. In write_cmap, check if we have been asked to write a
 Unicode cmap subtable, and use the new routine if so. Do not bias the
 character codes if writing a Unicode table.

Fix (pdfwrite): pdfwrite embedded TrueType/Type 42 fonts which
specifically forbid embedding.

Details:
Bug #689693 "GS embeds licensed fonts when generating PDF".

For Type 42 fonts, in order to prevent embedding fonts with license
restrictions we need to retrieve and honour the /FSType key if present
in the FontInfo dictionary of the font.

We also need to check the embedding status of TrueType fonts read from disk
in a similar fashion to Type 42 fonts downloaded in the course of the job.

Finally, when writing a TrueType font to a PDF file, we need to preserve any
existing embedding rights by setting fstype appropriately in the OS/2 table.
It is possible to permit font embedding even when the embedding rights
are non zero and we should preserve these.

(gxfont.h) Add a new parameter, EmbeddingRights, and a new flag
	     FONT_INFO_EMBEDDING_RIGHTS, to the gs_font_info structure.

(zfont.c) In zfont_info, if we request the EmbeddingRights, and the font has
          a FontInfo dictionary, retrieve the FSType if present.

(gdevdtf.c) When determining whether a font may be embedded, retrieve the
          font info, check the 'members' structure member after retrieving font info
          to see if the EmbeddingRights member has been updated. Assume embedding
          allowed if the member has not been updated.

(gxfont42.h) Add a new member os2_offset to the gs_type42_data structure, to allow
           us to read from the OS/2 table later.

(gstype42.c) In gs_type42_font_init, when reading the TrueType Table directory, store
           the offset to the OS/2 table.

           In gs_truetype_font_info, if the caller has requested the embedding rights
           and they haven't already been retrieved from an FSType entry in the
           FontInfo dictionary, get the OS/2 table and pull the fstype value from there.

(gdevpsft.c) When writing a TrueType font, and we don't have an OS/2 table to
             copy (appears to always be the case), check to see if we have any
             embedding rights information in the original font, and preserve it if so
             by setting the fstype entry in the OS/2 table.

Fix (bbox device) : box_fill_path needs as path for shfill.

DETAILS :

Since revision 8017 the function gs_shfill includes a branch for 
a faster handling of the Postscript operator shfill,
which does not provide a path to fill. It uses the clipping path instead.
The bbox device appears to be incompatible with that optimization.
This patch adds a special branch to bbox device to handle a shading fill
with no path.

Please note that since revision 8017 the call 
dev_proc(dev, pattern_manage)(dev, gs_no_id, NULL, pattern_manage__shfill_doesnt_need_path) 
must return a proper information about the device's fill_path method. 
In most case it is doe with the default implementation gx_default_pattern_manage, 
but the bbox device ises gx_forward_pattern_manage instead, 
which appears wrong for bbox_fill_path. We decided to add an optomized branch 
rather than apply the slow general method.

the clist playback time strongly depends on the file size.

1. The new method gs_composite_type_procs_t::get_cropping
replies what bands are covered by the compositor. 
When it gives a non-trivial result, clist_create_compositor
writes the compositor command to those bands,
which are covered with the cropping (Exception :
if too many bands are covered, it writes the command to
the "for all bands" list).

2. Since some bands skip some compositor commands,
while clist reading the association of masks to groups 
becomes more complex. Before this patch each group
was associates with the mask, which was created immediately
before it at same transparency stack level. 
After this patch some groups may be skipped, so that
clist reader may recieve extra masks, because masks are
still use the container's group bbox. For skipping such extra masks
we provide a numeric identifier of a mask, which is named mask_id.
Here is how it works :

2.1. All masks recieve serial numbers (mask_id) while clist writing.
2.2. Each mask command is written with its mask_id.
2.3. Each group command is writen with mask_id, 
     which belongs to the mask that is assocuated with the group.
2.4. While clist playback pdf14_pop_transparency_group checks whether
     the mask amd the group have same mask_id. If not, the mask is extra
     and it must be droped.
2.5. Note the old assiciation logic is still working,
     and it may skip some masks as well.
2.6. If the rasterization happens with no clist, mask_id is always zero.
     In this case the old logics is only working.
     Maybe we'll provide non-zero values someday.
2.7. See comments in code for more details.

3. The method gs_composite_type_procs_t::clist_compositor_write_update
is now some generalized. Before this patch it only updates the clist writer state
with the compositor features. With this patch it also adds 
some information from the clist writer state to the compositor parameters.
Particularly it provides mask_id to the compositor command.
Thus now it updates *both* clist writer and the compositor parameters
to comply each another. For a while, in order to simplify the patch,
the compositor argument is still 'const'. Will need to fix someday.

4. Now we need to save mask_id in a stack that reflects the
transparency nesting. The cropping stack, which was introduced
in the last patch, now works for that. To provide that
we add mask_id to clist_writer_cropping_buffer_s,
and use clist_writer_push_no_cropping to save amsk_id
over inner groups. 

5. state_update(ctm) in c_pdf14trans_clist_write_update is replaced
with code, which updates CTM from the transparency compositor command.
The old code is not fully correct, because it takes CTM from the imager state,
rather we havn't got prcatical cases when it gives a wrong result.

6. drop_compositor_queue now calls adjust_ctm for compositors being dropped.
The old code is incorrect because it can miss a CTM update when 
a compositor sets some CTM and later a non-compositor object
sets same CTM. In this case the clist writer skips the second CTM on writing,
and skipping the first in the clist reader will miss the CTM completely.
We haven't got practical cases for that.

7. Improved some debug printing.

Fix (clist) : Crop transparencsy commands while clist writing, step 2.

DETAILS :

This is a preparation to the next step.

The patch introduces a transparency stack for clist writer,
which saves cropping when entering a transparency group,
and restores when exiting it. The cropping is being narrowed
with transparency group's bounding box.

Fix (clist) : Crop transparencsy commands while clist writing, step 1.

DETAILS :

This is a preparation to the next step.
In general, the behavior doesn't change, 
but implementation details differ.

The old code maitains a flag cropping_by_y in the clist writer,
which triggers a cropping of objects by the Y axis.
The old code isn't perfect, because 
it first crops by [cdev->cropping_min, cdev->cropping_max],
and then by [0, cdev->height].

In the new code we unite both croppings into a single one.
For doing that we remove the flag, and provide 
the right interval [cdev->cropping_min, cdev->cropping_max]
in any case. Initially it is [0, cdev->height},
and it is narrowed when a shading bbox is set.
To restore the initial cropping after the shading
is complete, we maintain 2 new fields 
save_croping_min and save_cropping_max.

So now the cropping mechanizm does not depend
on shading, and clients may set a croping when they need. 
We'll use this feature in the next patch.

Fix for compression always falling back to no compression in
pclxl_write_image_data(), bug 689732.

Details:

After much tracing of srle.c and gdevpx.c I believe this bug is in
the portion of s_RLE_process() that looks ahead in order to be able
to optimally compress the data.  Rather than attempting to modify the
function and probably breaking something else I'm taking the 99% solution
and just calling s_RLE_process with last set to true instead of false.
This disables the look ahead feature, presumably making the compression
very slightly suboptimal but at least now it works.

This change results in pxl files that are significantly smaller than
before (i.e. the test file associated with bug 689595 is reduced in size
from 1.1 megs to 387k).

Fix (pdfwrite): problems with type 3 fonts executing 'show'.

Details:
Bug #689685 "OpenType font incorrectly converted to PDF".

The File is from Quark XPress and contains a type 3 font which
executes a 'show' and a 'charpath stroke' with a glyph from a type
1 font. Further, it executes a 'charpath' on this type 3 glyph.

Pdfwrite was unaware, when processing the 'show' that this was
inside a charpath operation, and emitted the shown glyph.

Modified pdfwrtite to be aware that a charpath is in operation, and
to have the graphics library handle any show operations.

(gdevpdfx.h) Add a new flag 'type3charpath' to the gx_device_pdf
  structure.

(gdevpdfb.h) Add an initialiser for the type3charpath flag (also for
  the last_charpath_op which was missed in that change)

(gdevpdtt.c) In gdev_pdf_text_begin, if type3charpath is true, go
straight to the default text processing. Otherwise, check to see
if this is a type 3 font, and the operation is 'charpath'. If so
then create a pdfwrite text enumerator to process the text.

In pdf_text_process, if we have a type 3 font, the operation is charpath
and type3charpath is false, set it to true and go straight to the 
default text handler. When the enumerator is completed, if type3charpath
is true, set it to false.

In pdf_text_process, while handling text, do not start accumulating a
charparoc if type3charpath is set.

Finally, in pdf_text_set_cache, if type3charpath is set, simply execute
the standard cache routine.

Fix (pdfwrite): problems with type 3 fonts executing 'show'.

Details:
Bug #689687 "Regression: pdfwrite DEVICE produces bad text".

The File is from Quark XPress and contains a type 3 font which
executes a 'show' and a 'charpath stroke' with a glyph from a type
1 font.

The code for revision 8265 converts these into a '2 Tr' in the
PDF file. However, I missed the case of this occuring inside a font,
resulting in much too large a strokewidth being set. This code takes
account of the font matrix.

NB there is still a potential problem. There is no way currently to tell
the difference between a charproc which explicitly sets a stroke width
and one which inherits it from the prevailing graphics state. Currently
we will write a font which always emits the stroke width at the time
the font was first used. There is no simple way to address this, we
could set the stroke width to an invalid value during the course of a type
3 glyph, and check it before emitting the stroke, but this is dangerous.

However, this seems unlikely to be a real problem in practice, since altering
the stroke width outside the font might result in unpredictable widths
dependent on the point size. I have chosen not to open a bug for the
possible condition at this time.

(gdevpdfd.c) gdev_pdf_stroke_path, if we are converting to a PDF text
rendering mode, and are inside a type 3 font glyph description, take the
font matrix into account when calculating the strokewidth.

Bump the revision after the 8.62 release.

[doc/News.htm lib/gs_init.ps src/gscdef.c src/version.mak]

Version 8.62 (2008-02-29)

This version is the next in our line of scheduled semi-annual releases.

There were approximately 55 bugs fixed since version 8.61. Some fixes and improvements of note were:

COMPILE_INITS=1 was broken in 8.61 and now works as expected.

Fonts are now distributed in the Resource/Font directory and will be included in the executable if COMPILE_INITS=1

The tiffsep device was fixed for using more than 8 colorants.

Shadings, overprinting and transparency were optimized and are substantially faster than in 8.61, particularly for large format or high resolution rendering when using the 'clist' banding mode.

Changes were made to prevent near unbounded growth in memory usage and corresponding performance problems on a few test cases.

The 'pdfwrite' device was improved to fix some compatibility issues with PDF/A and to improve some font embedding and other issues.

The 'ht_ccsto.ps' Stochastic Threshold array was completely changed to be more useful. The values in the threshold array were inverted, so the number of 'light' colors was limited and using it generally caused prints that were too dark.

The 'runpdfbegin', 'dopdfpages' and 'runpdfend' PostScript pseudo-operators that were inadvertently removed in 8.61 were restored. This also restored the functionality of toolbin/pdf_info.ps to display PDF creator stats, fonts used and page sizes.

The halftone tile cache sizes and cache effectiveness were improved to help the performance when tiling with large cells or threshold arrays.

The following bugs were open at the time of release:

465936, 578865, 626295, 686747, 686853, 687011, 687146, 687257, 687271, 687280, 687295, 687327, 687514, 687520, 687531, 687608, 687650, 687674, 687677, 687695, 687697, 687702, 687721, 687728, 687729, 687796, 687805, 687814, 687850, 687903, 687904, 687957, 687974, 688007, 688022, 688026, 688032, 688036, 688042, 688058, 688061, 688064, 688066, 688075, 688081, 688095, 688129, 688130, 688151, 688152, 688159, 688166, 688184, 688187, 688207, 688215, 688227, 688239, 688269, 688280, 688288, 688317, 688318, 688320, 688333, 688342, 688358, 688359, 688360, 688361, 688363, 688372, 688378, 688386, 688387, 688389, 688395, 688413, 688427, 688428, 688436, 688437, 688440, 688446, 688475, 688483, 688500, 688515, 688517, 688528, 688533, 688539, 688540, 688542, 688543, 688557, 688580, 688581, 688588, 688601, 688604, 688605, 688610, 688615, 688616, 688619, 688627, 688636, 688638, 688646, 688651, 688653, 688655, 688673, 688674, 688696, 688699, 688709, 688710, 688714, 688717, 688728, 688736, 688739, 688757, 688770, 688774, 688778, 688796, 688797, 688807, 688811, 688813, 688815, 688829, 688843, 688846, 688876, 688908, 688918, 688919, 688926, 688928, 688933, 688942, 688943, 688952, 688958, 688969, 688976, 688986, 688990, 688992, 688999, 689003, 689011, 689013, 689014, 689022, 689025, 689028, 689031, 689040, 689044, 689046, 689048, 689057, 689058, 689080, 689081, 689090, 689093, 689094, 689098, 689111, 689116, 689128, 689129, 689130, 689133, 689136, 689137, 689138, 689145, 689146, 689148, 689150, 689153, 689154, 689159, 689161, 689164, 689172, 689174, 689181, 689184, 689195, 689198, 689206, 689209, 689210, 689222, 689224, 689230, 689236, 689246, 689247, 689248, 689252, 689253, 689264, 689279, 689280, 689281, 689283, 689289, 689290, 689291, 689304, 689305, 689308, 689313, 689331, 689335, 689340, 689341, 689343, 689358, 689361, 689363, 689364, 689367, 689370, 689373, 689376, 689378, 689396, 689402, 689412, 689418, 689419, 689422, 689428, 689431, 689438, 689439, 689440, 689444, 689445, 689448, 689450, 689451, 689456, 689460, 689462, 689463, 689469, 689471, 689476, 689484, 689487, 689488, 689489, 689490, 689498, 689499, 689500, 689502, 689507, 689509, 689510, 689512, 689514, 689515, 689516, 689518, 689521, 689522, 689532, 689534, 689535, 689538, 689542, 689543, 689546, 689547, 689549, 689552, 689554, 689557, 689559, 689560, 689561, 689563, 689566, 689567, 689573, 689574, 689579, 689581, 689583, 689585, 689588, 689591, 689592, 689595, 689598, 689601, 689606, 689607, 689609, 689610, 689618, 689621, 689623, 689627, 689628, 689632, 689636, 689637, 689641, 689649, 689652, 689653, 689654, 689657, 689658, 689659, 689663, 689666, 689668, 689669, 689673, 689674, 689675, 689676, 689677, 689681, 689682, 689684, 689685, 689687, 689689, 689690, 689691, 689692, 689693, 689697, 689698, 689699, 689702, 689704, 689705, 689709, 689710, 689711, 689712, 689713, 689715, 689716, 689721, 689722, 689723, 689725, 689727.

Incompatible changes

Not strictly a compatibility issue, but the default URW (GPL) fonts are now distributed in the Resource/Font/ path which can increase the number of file handles open for PostScript that opens all of the resources. Also the size of the %rom% rom file system within the executable when using COMPILE_INITS=1 is larger by the amount needed for the fonts.

Also not strictly incompatible, but some alternate fixed-point code was stripped out, so FPU_TYPE and other FPU related makefile macros are gone or don't cause any difference in the code generated. Also the 'USE_ASM' macro was removed, since we expect modern compilers to do sufficient optimization.

Some old (deprecated) "helper" scripts were removed: gsindent, gssubst, many2pdf.tcl, and pre.

The unused 'cmap' (special color mapping) and 'ropc' devices were removed from the distribution.

The 'ht_ccsto.ps' Stochastic Threshold array was completely changed to be more useful. The values in the threshold array were inverted, so the number of 'light' colors was limited and using it generally caused prints that were too dark. This is an improvement, but incompatible in that anyone using it previously would see much different grays/ colors.

The SYSTEM_CONSTANTS_ARE_WRITABLE compile time define was removed as was the "EXTEND_NAMES" makefile macro (still accessible using a compiler flag define).

1. siscale.c : The revision 8529 patch part 4 tried to represent 'ceil' with rational 
arithmetics. But when downsampling the argument still uses a floating
number WidthIn, so we still need 'ceil'. 
This patch converts the formula back to floats, 
assuming that double precision is enough for precise result 
because source image size usually is smaller than 2^24.

The wrong rational representation of 'ceil' caused an array element index 
to fall outside the array. Debugged with FIG3.eps.

DETAILS :

Ghostscript Bug 687345 "Image interpolation problem at a band boundary"

This is a further improvement to image placement precision.
Debugged with a.pdf .

The old code provides insufficientg precision when computing 
transformation matrix for an image. This computation
include matrix inversion and matrix miltiplication.
The old code uses floats and causes a visible shift of subimages with banding.
The new code uses double precision.

We didn't test how it relates to the revision 7026 change, 
which dectreased the matrix precision for CPSI compatibility.
It should be a separate job.

In the new gsmatrix.c code we simply duplicate old code fragments
and replace types for double. We don't want to define a template
for now. Will see after the code passes enough practical work.

Besides that, in gxidata.c replaced fixed2int_pixround
with fixed2int_pixround_perfect. It is not related to a.pdf,
but we believe it is an useful change.

In gxipixel.c the patch replaces dda_advance with a repeated dda_next.
The old code appears implrecise due to loosing fraction pixels.

Fix (images) : Improve coordinate precision when scaling an image (continued 3).

DETAILS :

Ghostscript Bug 687345 "Image interpolation problem at a band boundary"

1. The macro fixed2int_pixround returns a mathematically incorrect
result with negative half-integer arguments.
For example fixed2int_pixround(-2.5) = -3 when the math gives -2.
We guess it was designed for positive page coordinates only,
but later it was applied to objects with negative coordinates.
Particularly, an image can start outside the page with a negative coordinate,
and fixed2int_pixround causes distorsions with banding.

We do not update fixed2int_pixround for backward compatibility 
of other parts of the algorithm. Instead that the patch defines 
a mew macro fixed2int_pixround_perfect, and applies it to
images with Interpolate=true. (gxfixed.h, gxipixel.c, gxiscale.c).

2. Added gx_image_enum_s::yi0 to provide entire image origion in the page.
This value does not depend on band size, so it gives more stability -
see below. (gximage.h).

3. Added entire image sizes to stream_image_scale_params_s
for source image and scaled image. These values do not depend on band size
and provide more stability - see how they are used in siscale.c. 
(sisparam.h, gxiscale.c).

4. (siscale.c) calculate_contrib now computes the filter kernel center
with global (page) coordinates of the image, using the right macro 
fixed2int_pixround_perfect and with the rational arithmetics
instead floats. It gives the kernel center position relatively to source image
with no dependence on the band size.  Also improved the debug printing
about that.

5. In siscale.c we keep track of some experiments done while
developing the patch. We need to save them to history because they're not trivial.
See comments in code. We'll remove them from trunk with a separate patch.

Improve Halftone tile cache efficiency. Make default cache large enough
on default 32-bit (LARGE) configuration to allow for > 256 cache tiles
when using the 'ht_ccsto.ps' 167x167 Threshold array. Change cache
lookup logic to eliminate collisions when the number of cache slots
exceeds the number of levels (the normal case). Remove duplicated
ht cache default size #defines and normalize the names to end in
_size (to imply size in bytes) and be consistent with other similar
function/macro names.

DETAILS:

When we have more cache slots than the number of levels, we can use
the 'b_level' directly and don't lookup based on the 'number of bits'
(level). This ELIMINATES collisions and on customer 661's benchmarks
resulted in up to 40% performance improvement for some files with
no performance degradation on any when running a large threshold
array based halftone (as the customer does).

The previous -Z. behavior is retained, although small cache sizes
are of questionable value, and this is sort of confusing since a
small memory build will use the same cache size with and without
-Z.

Fix (images) : Improve coordinate precision when scaling an image (continued).

DETAILS :

Ghostscript Bug 687345 "Image interpolation problem at a band boundary"

This is another partial fix for the bug 687345 for portrait images with Interpolate=true.
Debugged with CET 148-13.

1. The old code inprecisely computes the scaling factor
when interpolating images with Mitchel filter.
The computation was done with the subimage rectangle,
which is different for different bands.
The new code always computes the scale from the entire image rectangle,
which's size is same for all bands.

2. New fields are inserted into gx_image_enum_s and stream_image_scale_params_s
to provide data delivery for (1).

3. In calculate_contrib in siscale.c the variable input_index
is renamed into starting_output_index for a better reflection of its semantics.

4. In calculate_contrib in siscale.c the new variable dst_offset_fraction
is added for a preciser positioning of the filter center,
when it fails between device pixel rows. The old code missed fractional
pixels when stepping to a next band. The expression for its value 
was created empirically, so it may need further improvements.

5. Inserted visual trace instructions for easier debugging.

6. Improved the debug trace printing.

Include 12 and 16 bit image support as part of the core graphics 
library. Bug 689688.

Details:

Previously, the core graphics library defaulted to including the 
'no12bit' and 'no16bit' modules, which contained stubs. These modules
were replaced by full implementations when the psl2lib (12 bit) and 
pdfread (16 bit) modules were included.

We now consider this build-time flexibility redundant. The extra code is 
not large and the default build generally includes it as these images 
are part of all the newer page description languages. We therefore 
include the unpack routines directly in libcore and remove the 
noi1xbit modules entirely.

Fix (pdfwrite): problems with unusual PDF text rendering modes.

Details:
Bug #689596 "Generated PDF loses an image from original".

Although the PDF interpreter stores both stroke and fill colours,
there is no way to pass both these colours to the graphics library.
The PostScript graphics state may only contain a single colour, and the
device interface only allows for a single colour to be passed.

The old code set the text rendering mode, and assumed that if the
current device was pdfwrite this would be sufficient. However the
need to set both colours causes this to fail.

Modified the pdf_ops to set a show/colour/charpath/stroke combination
instead. The existing code will spot text followed by a charpath of
the same text and collapse it back.

A number of other problems with text rendering modes were also addressed
at the same time, but in a less than optimal fashion. This patch
is a temporary fix while an enhancement is coded to better address
the problem.

(gdevpdts.c) pdf_render_mode_uses_stroke, was checking for render mode
not 0 (fill). Altered to check against the actual stroking modes.

(gdevpdtt.c) pdf_update_text_state was setting the text rendering mode
to 0 (fill) under most conditions. Altered this to set the mode from
the graphics state, unless the current font PaintType is 2 (stroke),
and the render mode is 0, in which case set render mode to 1 (stroke).

(pdf_ops.ps) Modify setshowstate to provide better methods of implementing
various text rendering modes to pdfwrite. Rendering is unaffected by
this change.

Fix (images) : Improve coordinate precision when scaling an image.

DETAILS :

Ghostscript Bug 687345 "Image interpolation problem at a band boundary"

This is a partial fix for the bug 687345 for images with Interpolate=false.
Actually it is related to scaling raher than interpolation.

1. gx_image_enum_begin performed inaccurate coordinate computations,
which caused a different image bias for different bands
due to a wrong coordinate rounding.
The patch replaces it with a better code,
which provides same bias for all bands and for unbanded rendering.
But we're not sure that image placement is now perfect,
because the initial rounding looks strange.
We keep the initial rounding to be compatible with the old code
to minimize raster differences and easier visual analyzis.
For a while we keep the old code in #if 0 because
it may be useful for next patch.

2. image_render_frac contains optimized branches for the case when
image's axes are parallel to page's axes.
Those optimized branches convert parallelograms into rectangles,
except for the last parallelogramm in the chunk.
It caused the last parallelogram to shift in 1 pixel relatively 
to the rectangles. This patch adds the optimized branch
for the last parallelogram, so that all image parts
are now placed with same rounding. It avoids rendering artifacts
with 148-05.ps and many other tests. Note that the patch does not fix
the rectangle shift from parallelograms,
so probably it still contain another bug,
which may need a separate fix.

3. While working on this patch we noted that update_strip
doesn't correctly preserve the fractional part for
dda.strip and dda.pixel . We include a track of that experiment
in the new code in #if 0 section for further development.
See comment in code.

4. Inserted visual trace commands for easier debugging.

Fix (graphics) : Interpolated images were shifed in a half of source pixel.

DETAILS :

Bug 687039 "Interpolated images looks strange on Win32 display device".

1. The old code maps the center of the [0,0]th source pixel
   to the output image origin. However Adobe maps 
   the source pixel's corner to the output origin.
   This patch compensates the shift when computing the
   filter kernel position - see '0.5' when computing 'center'.

2. When the filter kernel scans partially outside the source image,
   the math requires to extrapolate source data somenow
   to fill the kernel. However the old code performs some strange
   computation, which we're not sure what for.
   It looks as a rudiment of wrapping the source image
   like a thorus. Well, it's an useful math for periodic patterns,
   but not for single images. Since we never apply siscale.c to 
   patterns, we replace this code portion with a simpler one,
   which duplicates pixels at image boundaries.
   See attachment to the bug to prove that Adobe does so.

Fix (TT): Ignore broken post 2.0 table generated by "Windows Type 1 Installer".

DETAILS:

This is the second fix for bug 689495, that is quite specific
to a TrueType font generated by "Windows Type 1 Installer".

"Windows Type 1 Installer" makes a TrueType font including broken
post table in format 2.0. Previous fix (SVN revision 8351) just
ignores such broken post table, and ISOLatin1Encoding is used
for fallback. When such TrueType font is combined with WinAnsiEncoding,
some glyph names (exists only in WinAnsiEncoding) cannot be resolved.

The post table format 2.0 uses 2 maps to assign a glyph name to
TrueType glyph index: the first map is from TrueType glyph index
to glyph name index (glyphNameIndex[] array), the second map is
from glyph name index to glyph name string (names[] Pascal string
array). The broken post table generated by "Windows Type 1 Installer"
seems to use name[] array by TrueType glyph index directly, and
the glyphNameIndex[] array has unreliable values.

This patch sets /.broken_post when the post table is broken (the
detection of broken post table is same with SVN revision 8351),
then use names[] array by TrueType glyph index when /.broken_post
is set.

Fix (graphics) : Optimize filling a path with a shading color.

DETAILS :

Bug 688970 "(shadings) Optimize filling a path with a shading color".

When filling a path with a shading color, the old code
first intersects the the clipping path with the path,
then intersects the result with the shading BBox.
However the intermediate result frequently appears to be 
a big list of rectangles, so the second intersection is slow.

This patch accounts that the clipping path and shading BBox
frequently are rectangles, which are easier to intersect with
no converting to paths. Also the shading box is always a quadrangle,
so intersecting it early gives a smaller intermediate result.
Therefore we first intersect the clipping path with the shading BBox,
then with the path.

This patch keeps the old code within #if #endif
until the full regression testing is passed on the server.
Also would like to eliminate the old complicated function 
gx_dc_pattern2_clip_with_bbox, which is still called from elswhere.

glyphs, another is unembedded WinAnsiEncoding TrueType (possibly for
empty page header or footer). When PDF interpreter resolves latter
unembedded "Times New Roman", external font resource should be used
(Adobe Reader does so). But current Ghostscript uses former embedded
"Times New Roman", because the sample PDF includes "Times New Roman"
without randomization prefix.

To avoid the confusion between embedded and unembedded fonts with
same name, pfont->is_resource flag (=0 embedded, =1 unembedded)
is checked during font object resolution. Even if a cached font
object with same name is found, it is ignored if it is embedded
font. To execute this check in PostScript space (pdf_font.ps),
new operator ".isregisteredfont" is introduced. This patch assumes
that embedded font object in PDF is resolvable by tracking the
indirect object references. If a PDF assumes name-based resolution
of embedded font object (without indirect object), it may be
rendered by external font resource. At present, we don't have
such sample.

By this patch, bug 689637 is fixed.

Fix (TT): Fix a bug in /getinterval_from_stringarray

DETAILS:

getinterval_from_stringarray is a procedure defined to
extract a substring from long table of TrueType font.
When a table is too long to fit into 16bit-length string
object in PostScript, gs_ttf.ps split the table into
the array of strings. When getinterval_from_stringarray
is requested to extract a string which starts in one
member and ends in following member, it returns a string
that only the content of the first member is copied.
There was a wrong conditional that made the substring
extraction aborted. It was fixed to return the correct
substring.

By this fix, bug 689593 (IPA font 2007 edition cannot
be parsed correctly) is closed.

Fix (clist & transparency) : Improve the compositor queue logic (continued).

DETAILS :

The last commit is incomplete due to human error.
Please don't use the last revision.

Bug 689492 "Ghostscript uses a large amount of memory", part 2.

This patch fixes the missed shadow of a text, which is mentioned 
in the Comment #8 of the bug report.

1. Added macros for configuring visual trace for easier debugging.
2. The idle transparency bufer allocation condition was wrong. 
   The patched code allocated ;esser buffers.
3. Found more cases when a mask needs to be released.
4. The old code immediately executes idle masks.
   It caused a wrong order for compositor execution
   with images that have a soft mask.
   With the test case the image's mask was executed before 
   the group that containing the image.
   It caused a premature releasing of a mask,
   which preceeeds the group and must noy be released.

   The new code delays the execution of idle masks
   after all containing groups are executed,
   so that the queue is now longer and stores all masks.
   We beleive that's not harmful, because
   transparency queue elements are pretty small and
   work for hos based applications only.

   The new function mark_as_idle works for the new logic.
   Few aother functions are enhanced with a smarter
   processing of the idle flag.
5. Improved comments for the compositor queue logic.

Fix (transparency) : Memory leak after an image with soft mask.

DETAILS :

Bug 689492 "Ghostscript uses a large amount of memory".

When a PDF command stream executes "/d1 gs /d2 gs" where d1 and d2 both define an 
untrivial SMask (not important whether they are same mask or different masks),
the second mask replaces the first one, and the first one to be released.

When a transparent group includes an image with a soft mask 
(this case happens in the test document for the bug), the image's soft mask must 
*temporary* replace the groups soft mask, and the first mask must not 
be released.

The old code does not distinguish these cases, assuming that 
a mask buffer is being released after rendering a group with it.
Due to that some mask buffers were never released,
causing a memory leak with banded rendering,
because the clist interpreter doesn't run the garbager.

A simpler case for demonstrating the leak could be created with 
"/d1 gs /d2 gs" as explained above.

The patch defines a new bool gs_transparency_mask_params_s::replacing, 
gx_transparency_mask_params_s::replacing and gs_pdf14trans_params_s::replacing
for passing the necessary information through old interfaces.
Note that as usual we cannot change the device interface for 
an easier passing of this info, because we need to maintain
the compatibility with 3d party devices.

Using the 'replacing' flag, pdf14_push_transparency_mask either replaces
the old mask buffer, or creates a new one as a temporary substitution for
an image with a soft mask. In the second case the group mask is
saved in the last transparency stack element in the field 
buf->maskbuf. After rendering the image's group 
the function pdf14_pop_transparency_group restores 
the saved mask buffer, as it was set in the transparency context
before starting the image's mask. For more details see
comments added into gdevp14.c .

Fix (Font renderer) : Horizontal metrics sometimes applied with WMode 1 fonts.

DETAILS :

Bug 689464 "Japanese font writing direction (vertical ?)".
Bug 689646 "vertical text rendered by external CIDFontType0 flows horizontal".

1. When a descendent font of a type 0 CID font has zero FontBBox,
   use the FontBBox of the CID font. This is another case when
   a 3d party software generates a font with zero FontBBox.
   We believe that such font data is incorrect, 
   but this patch provides a simple workaround.

2. When FontBBox to be used to compute Metrics2,
   don't obtain sbw from type 1 glyph descriptions.
   The old code does so causing the horizontal metrics
   to be used when rendering a WMode 1 font. 

3. The case (2) appears to have an exception,
   when the font has CDevProc. In this case 
   we do need sbw from the glyph description
   to provide arguments for CDevProc.
   See alse the comment added to code.

Note that Type 1 font renderer now depends on some knowledge about type 0 CID font.
But this dependence does not break the configurability
because only an .h file is included into the Type 1 font renderer.

Fix (patterns) : The clipping was wrong with antrivial pattern matrix.

DETAILS :

Bug 687196 "Incorrect pattern processing from Adobe test file pattyp1.ps".
This is a partial fix for the bug, which fixes raster devices only.

1. The old code always sets a canonic rectangular clipping,
   which is wrong with rotated or skewed matrices.

   Note the patch resets path in the pattern's graphic state.
   It is not done in the old code, so it may cause raster diferences.
   But it is required in PLRM chapter 8 by the definition of 'makepattern'.

2. Adjust the pattern matrix to pixel grid.
   After doing the change (1) the clipping area appears too small for some cases.
   It happens because the tile origin falls at fractional pixels,
   The new code causes a massive raster difference, which actually is minor
   (a shift of some pattern instances in 1 pixel).

   Note that PLRM requires to adjust pattern matrix in the definition of 'makepattern',
   but doesn't explain how to.

3. In compute_inst_matrix perform computations in 'float'
   because the matrix is represented with 'float'.

4. (miror change) Expanded the 'mat' macro for easier debugging with MSVC.

Fix (shadings) : A memory deallocation problem.

DETAILS :

Bug 689660 "memory deallication problems with shadings".

The old code used pdev->memory for temporary storing 
an intersection of clipping path with shading bbox.
This is the global memory space.
However if the intersection is trivial,
the path of the clipping path is copied from the 
original clipping path, which is allocated in the local memory space.
Later it causes a freeing of path segments to a wrong memory space.

This patch chooses the original clipping path's memory space
when the clipping path is available, and the global space otherwise.

Fix (save/restore) : Compact the changes list against big memory leak.

DETAILS :

Bug 689536 "Memory leak reading PostScript file (PMR 53877).".

The old implementation includes an optimization agains a big CPU time expense
in 'save' and 'restore' for sedtting and resetting l_mark flags.

Normally, when executing 'save', the memory manager needs
to reset l_new marks for objects modified or allocated at the last save level,
so that their further modification on the next save level to be saved
in the changes list. When executing 'restore' these flags to be set 
to prevent redundant save.

When the last save level includes many allocations, 
the number of scanned objects is big and it causes a significant
time expense. A long ago Ghostscript implements an optimization,
which shorten the scanned list against the big time expense.
However the shortening causes redundant saving.

The redundant saving itself isn't harmful because
it happens seldon and spends a small memory.
However if a redundant save element points to a reference to
a newly allocated array or dictionary, the array or dictionary
can't be garbage collected. When a client executes such allocation and 
same reference modification multiple times, all allocated arrays
and dictionaries persist in memory, causing a significant memory leak.

This patch compacts the saved change list whem a significant memory 
allocation is accummulated since last save or since last compacting.
The new field gs_ref_memory_s::total_scanned_after_compacting
works for counting allocated elements. The new function 
drop_redundant_changes performs the compacting. See comments in its code.

The threshold for starting drop_redundant_changes is choosen arbitrary. 
It must not be too small, because the CPU time expense
optimization wouldn't be effective. Also it can't be too big,
because the memory leak recovery would not be effective.
This patch sets it to about 1600000 objects,
which is an experimental trade-of.

Note that this patch reduces the memory leak but doesn't
eliminate it to zero, because more data may be allocated
after the last filtering.

We could implement a filtering within the garbager rather 
than withis save/restore. Actually it wouldn't change 
the behavior to much, because the threshold would be still needed 
against the CPU time expense, It happens because the scanning
deals with array or dictioanr elements rather than with
whole aggregates. Also we don't want to complicate the garbager.

Note that the arbitrary threshold is bigger than neccessary
for the simplified test case included into the bug report.
Due ti that the leak elimination does not happen with this test.
For the compacting to take place the sequence "NEWJOB Z"
to be repeated 90 times rather than 40 in the supplied test. 
The customer's test does demonstrate the leak reducing.

Fix (clist interpreter) : Skip idle compositors, step 5.

DETAILS :

This really skips compositors which don't paint anything.

Compositor parameter list structures are extended with a new boolean field 'idle'.
These fields pass information whether something was painted to a compositor.
We choosen this way for passing this info because 
(1) we can't change the device inteface with new function arguments, and 
(2) we need to pass it through the device chain
(for example, when a clipper is installed onth the overprint device).

This patch only affects the transparency and the overprint.
Other compositors (gsalphac.c, gxropc.c) behave as before. 
They may need further improvements.

This patch does not fix the bug 689492.
That fix may be done either before or after this one,
but in any case the patches need to adopt each to another.

The new compositor virtual method is_closing
checks whether a current compositor command
closes an older command, and finds the opening command.
Now we provide untrivial implementations for transparency and overprint compositors.
Would like to define an enum for return values of is_closing.

The old device method create_compositor now passes the 'idle' parameter via 
gs_composite_s structure. By default it is false and the behaviour
is same as before. But the clist interpreter is modified
to provide true value when a compositor doesn't paint anything.
To compute this flag the compositor queue now works with its full power.
Note we changed the queue representation with a bilikned list.

This patch entroduces the concept of 'friendly operations'
for compositor operations. These are those operations, which
may interchange with compositor installation/deinstallation.
One example is halftone operations, which always affect
the device below the compositor device, i.e. the target device
of the compositor device. The new compositor virtual method
is_friendly is implemented in an intrivial way for the
transparency compositor especially to exchange with halftone
operations while queueing clist operations.
This especially helps to delay the pdf14 device installation
so that it may completely annihilate with its deinstallation
if nothing is painted through the compositor in a band.

Overprint and transparency compositor implementations
are changed with checking the idle flag.
If it is set, they don't perform neither color blending, nor
raster buffer allocation. Note the pdf14 device maintains the buffer stack
as before, but the allocation of buffers may be skipped.
It saves significant time from cleaning up raster buffers when they are idle.

This patch may need further improvements for the case when
different compositor types are mixed in one queue. 
We could not fully test it due to absence of practical tests.

Another useful improvement would be to convert 
"0 .inittransparencymask 1 .inittransparencymask dict .setblendparams"
into a single command. It would simplify the compositor queue logic.
Also we think that the name .inittransparencymask doesn't reflect the function purpose.
Will improve someday.

We're not sure whether this patch correctly works with idle masks.
We could not debug it due to no practical cases.
Possibly idle mask will need an additional effort to skip 
the group painting to the band.

Also disabled cmd_put_halftone in c_pdf14trans_clist_write_update -
see comment in code.

Monor change : Inserted a visual trace support for transparency buffers.

Correct polarity of the stochastic threshold array so that the images are
not too dark.

DETAILS:

The original conversion from the threshold array provided by CalComp had
the threshold values inverted so that the implicit linearization was
inverted, making images much too dark. This correction provides reasonable
results on printers. Fine tuning of transfer functions can be used for
specific printers.

Fix (jbig2dec): The global data stream for a JBIG2 image in a PDF
file was being released, and the data freed by the garbage collector,
before the data was used.

Details: Bug #689568 and #689569. Uses the patch supplied by Alex

naming. Does not attempt to change the memory allocator. This slightly
modified patch also works with the Luratech decoder.

sjbig2.h, sjbig2_luratech.h; make the global data structure 
s_jbig2_global_data_t public. Store the structure in the 
stream decoder state.

Remove the unused composite_rop device.

DETAILS:

This was an attempt to implement PCL raster operations as an interposed 
device which first rendered to an intermediate buffer and them 
composited with the underlying device buffer, similar to how the
"PDF 1.4 Transparency" device works.

While this would be a nice approach, allowing raster operations to 
function in more color spaces, it was never completed, and presents
a maintenance burden for ongoing clist improvements. We are therefore
removing it. It can be reinstated later as a starting point for further 
development if needed.

Fix (transparency) : Unwinding the nested masks logic.

DETAILS :

The patch 8340 appears to be optimized for a particular case,
in which a call to pdf14_push_transparency_group
"will have been preceded by pdf14_push_transparency_mask ... pdf14_pop_transparency_mask".
This assumption is not true in general, when the clist interpreter
skips idle groups (either with incoming improvement or 
with using the band complexity array).

This patch unwinds the change 8340 and the dependent change 8342.
It also simplifies the garbager descriptor for pdf14_buf_s.

The nested mask problem is now reopen,
but we intend to close it shortly with a different patch.

Store the posix persistent cache's last modified line as an unsigned

DETAILS:

Previously we used time_t directly, but read and wrote it to the 
filesystem using the %ld printf format specifier, which is wrong
on systems where long int and time_t are different widths. Instead
we stort it as an unsigned long int, coercing the return value of
time(). This will be a year 2038 problem on systems with 32 bit longs, 
but seems the better option for portability now. There is no cast,
so the compiler should warn if this loses precision.

from a symbol dictionary, when using refinement/aggregation.

Details:
Bug #688945 "jbig2dec FATAL ERROR decoding image: aggregate
coding with REFAGGNINST=2 (segment 0x03)".

Improved the previous patch. We need to have a symbol dictionary
which contains all the original symbols, plus all the symbols decoded
so far, for the refinement/aggregation. Previously we created this
anew for each symbol, this patch creates the dictionary once at
the start of the dictionary decoding, and releases it when decoding
is complete.

Also releases the Huffman tables (if used), which was missed
in the previous patch.

Fix (jbig2dec): Missing support for decoding multiple symbols
from a symbol dictionary, when using refinement/aggregation.

Details:
Bug #688945 "jbig2dec FATAL ERROR decoding image: aggregate
coding with REFAGGNINST=2 (segment 0x03)".

Added missing support. When decoding a symbol dictionary, using
refinement/aggregation, and decoding multiple symbols, we need
to use text region decoding (single symbols use refinement
region decoding, already implemented).

This required making the text region decoding procedure available
to the symbol dictionary decoding routine, and correctly
initialising the parameters.

(jbig2_text.h) New include file. The 'Jbig2TextRegionParams'
structure and Jbig2RefCorner enum have been moved here from
jbig2_text.c, and a prototype for 'jbig2_decode_text_region'
created.

Added pointers for the adaptive arithmetic decoder tables to the
Jbig2TextRegionParams structure, as these tables must now be passed
to the decoder routine (see below) rather than initialised in it.

(jbig2_text.c) Modified the 'jbig2_decode_text_region' routine to
take the arithmetic decoder state or data stream (for Huffman
decoding) as a parameter. When being called from the symbol
dictionary decoder we must use the current decoder state; removed
the initialisation of the decoder state, this is passed as a
parameter Removed the initialisation of the adaptive arithmetic
decoder tables, these are now passed as part of the
Jbig2TextRegionParams structure.

Modified 'jbig2_parse_text_region' to create and initialise the
arithmetic decoder state (or data stream for Huffman). If
using adaptive arithmetic encoding, create and initialise the
tables.Required now that these are parameters to the text
region decoder.

(jbig2_symbol_dict.c) 'jbig2_decode_symbol_dict', when we
encounter refinement/aggregation with REFAGGNINST > 1, instead of
flagging an error create a Jbig2TextRegionParams structure (if
not already present), initialise the arithmetic decoder tables, and
call the text region decoder to create the bitmap. If we already
have a Jbig2TextRegionParams structure (because we have already
decoded a symbol this way) just use it as the argument to the
text region decoder.

Fix (clist interpreter) : Skip idle compositors, step 3.

DETAILS :

The clist writer writes the 'create compositor' operation to all bands,
including ones that are not covered by a transparency.
It does so because this operation changes the number of color components.

When rendering a specific band, it frequently happens that a compositor
is created and then immediately destroyed. Such thing happens outside 
the transparency bbox, and within the transparency bbox if
the band has no transparent objects. When compositor is created,
it allocates a big raster buffer and cleans it. 
Due to that we observe a significant CPU time expence
when running the test case of the bug 689155.

This patch is a preparation for further improvements.
This patch includes CTM into pdf14 compositor params
(see changes to c_pdf14trans_read, c_pdf14trans_write, clist_create_compositor).
The result should be same as the old code, but the algorithm is different.
The old code wrote CTM as a separate command before cmd_opv_ext_create_compositor.
The new code does not, and in many cases compositor commads 
immediately follow each another.

The last fact changes the behavior of the compositor queue :
before this patch it consisted of 1 element maximum,
but after it the queue becomes longer (up to 10 elements
with SoftMaskGroup.pdf). A bug is fixed in the queue logic 
in gxclrast.c ln 1355.

The queue is still immediately executed
when a non-compositor command appears in the input stream.
An annihilation of neighbour idle compositors will be a next step.

Minor changes:

- added a new method adjust_ctm to gs_composite_type_procs_t.
- added type checks with composite_*_proc macros to all compositor types.
- dependencies were broken for gdevp14.c in lib.mak .

Fix (shadings) : Optimize fill_linear_color_scanline with analitic computation of the color change position.

DETAILS :

Debugged with the test case of the bug 689155.

This optimizes slightly changing gradients.
It speeds up the test case from 6 hours to 5 hours.

The old code in gx_default_fill_linear_color_scanline 
recomputes color for each pixel.
The new code checks whether neighbour pixels have same color,
and if so it finds the color change position 
with solving a linear equation, 
and fills entire constant color interval 
without computing color for each pixel.

The linear equation is solved with 64 bits arithmetics.
We would like to create a 32bits algorithm someday.
We think it is possible with rounding colors to 16 bits
and restricting a run length with 15 bits. 
Note it must not accummulate rounding errors,
so it needs to compute from the run start at each iteration.
So if the scanline is wide, first split it into smaller ones
by coordinates, then break each subscanline into runs by color changes.

Fix (shadings) : Optimize path manipulations for shading fill (continued).

DETAILS :

Debugged with the test case of the bug 689155.

A long ago the graphics library converted the sfill clipping into a path.
It was improved with revision 8017 with introducing 
a device response for pattern_manage__shfill_doesnt_need_path.
However the revision 8017 appears incomplete : 
it missed the related change to the clist writer device
and to pdf14 device. This patch fixes it.

This patch causes a progression for the problem
known as bug 689338 "Raster depends on bands".
With banded rendering some shadings are now painted some wider,
and the raster appears equal to one from unbanded rendering.
It happens because the old code doesn't convert shfill clipping
into a path when no banding, and does convert when banding.
The new code does not convert in both cases.

Add the 'pamcmyk32' (previously the 'pam' device) to all default builds.
This will be used for regression testing of 32-bit CMYK.

DETAILS:

The 'pam' device is retained, but not included in the default builds,
in case anyone was using this. The 'pamcmyk32' name was created as
more descriptive.

Fix (graphics) : Improving the setoverprint logic.

DETAILS :

Debugged with the test case of the bug 689155.

This eliminates unnecessary calls of dx_device::procs.create_compositor.
In the test case the oprator 'show' calls gs_save and gs_restore
and the latter performs unnecessary call to gs_do_set_overprint
due to overprint is set at page start. It causes a significant CPU time expense 
while clist interpretation.

We're not sure why the old code is such,
we change it as we think correct.
Will see the regression test results.
A local test gave no differences.

Fix (pdfwrite): Fonts containing glyphs with no sbw or hsbw
instruction caused pdfwrite to crash.

Details:
Bug #689544 "Segmentation fault writing PDF file".

The job contains a number of fonts apparently converted from 
TrueType to type 1. The /.notdef glyph in every case consists
only of an endchar instruction. Techincally invalid since the 
specification says the first instruction must be either an sbw
or hsbw instruction.

This causes a crash because gs_type1_glyph_info didn't create
a path before interpreting the glyph. If we encountered a path
operation before a sbw instruction we attempted to write to the 
non-existent path.

(gxtype1.c), gs_type1_glyph_info, create a path for the type 1
interpreter to work with. Make it a bbox_accumulator so we don't
allocate memory for path segments.

(gdevpsfu.c), psf_check_outline_glyphs, if we get an invalidfont
error return from the font's 'glyph_info' procedure, don't exit
immediately. Check each glyph, and only return an error if 
there are no good glyphs.

Incompatible changes

The default device on unix-oriented builds was temporarily switched to the bbox device in the 8.60 release. In the 8.61 release, the default was changed again to the x11alpha device, if X11 support is available, and otherwise falls back to the bbox device.

Fix (clist interpreter) : Transparency caused a wrong color depth.

DETAILS :

Bug 689520 Regression: 1bpp and grayscale output broken.

The clist interpreter clist_playback_band maintains 2 devices :
the clist reader and target. The clist reader device stores
private interpreter's data. However using a device structure
for this purpose is pretty confusing, because the target 
device may have same device fields with different values.
Particularly while processing a transparency, the target device
chage to a transparency buffer device, 
which may have a different number of color components.

The problem happens due to the clist interpreter used
a wrong device to obtain the number of color components.
This patch changes the code with taking color components 
from the target device. 

Now we don't try to analyze all other access to the clist device -
it should be a subject of a separate job. 
Therefore the code may need further improvements.
The right way would be to define a special structure for the clist interpreter, 
and to drop the clist reader device at all.

Fix dependency problems that caused obj/gs_init.ps to be missed. Also fix a
typo that caused CMap files to be missing.

DETAILS:

This method of putting the gs_init.ps dependency down in lib.mak require
us to get gs_init.ps. This hack was discussed with Ralph and is an
alternative to adding a dependency to all of the top level makefiles.
The dummy gs_init.ps is only made when we are NOT including the PS
interpreter (PSI_INCLUDED) since we need the real one for the language
switch build. Note that the dummy file doesn't get added to the %rom%

Fix (clist) : Providing clist instruction ids and offsets to debug trace (continued 2).

DETAILS :

The last patch (rev 8365) appears incorrect and causes crashes with halftoning devices.

The problem happens due to gx_device_clist_reader::offset_map 
has been initialized too early in clist_reader_init. 
At that moment the device is still a clist writer, 
but the field offset_map belongs to clist reader. 
Due to gx_device_clist_s is a union, the field overlaps band_range_list.head,
and the letter was prematurely reset. It caused some commands were not written
to clist file while the page closes. With the test case (pbmraw -r300 012-01.ps)
it missed cmd_opv_ext_put_halftone and did not miss cmd_opv_ext_put_drawing_color
with color index type == ht_binary. It caused the crash in gx_dc_ht_binary_readdue to 
pis->dev_ht was not set. (cmd_opv_ext_put_halftone does set, but it was missed).

The log message of the revision 8365 reads :
"This change is algorithmically equivalent for release build."
This statement is false due to the premature initialization of 
gx_device_clist_reader::offset_map.
This patch fixes that with removing its initialization from 
clist_reader_init. A subsequent call to clist_render_init initializes it.

The last patch was made buggy due to the function name 
clist_reader_init does not properly reflects its finction.
This patch fixes the naming.

Also provided more stability in gxht.c with a check for NULL pointer.

Fix (clist) : Providing clist instruction ids and offsets to debug trace (continued).

DETAILS :

The last patch appears incorrect for the debug build 
and causes crashes sometimes. Not sure why local testing didn't detect that.

This change is algorithmically equivalent for release build.
In the debug build it fixes problems of the last patch.

1. Offset map could be prematurely released by the garbager
(It could cause a crash. Not sure why the local test didn't detect it).
A new pointer gx_device_clist_reader::offset_map prevents that.
Added it to the garbager descriptor and provided its initialization.

2. buffer_segment_index can fail with returning a negative index.
Checked that and propagated error codes.

4. Besides top_up_cbuf, the buffer topping up also happens 
with calling memmove when reading bitmap data. 
Added calls to top_up_offset_map for accounting that.

5. See comment in top_up_offset_map about the improved invariant.

6. The prototupe of top_up_cbuf is changed with passing the error code.
Due to that the variable 'cbp' is droped the 'register' modifier.
We believe it won't cause a visible slowdown because
modern compilers are smart enough.

7. Do not maintain offset_map when -ZL is not specified.
It saves some CPU time with debug build.

Fix (clist) : Providing clist instruction ids and offsets to debug trace.

DETAILS :

This change is algorithmically equivalent for release build.
In the debug build it only adds a new debug printing.

Let clist segment is consecutive instuctions buffered for same band.

1. gx_device_clist_writer::ins_count counts clist segments.

2. cmd_prefix_s::id is the number of clist segment that it belongs to.

3. stream_band_read_state_s::offset_map stores a table for mapping
clist segments' buffer offsets to clist file offsets.

4. s_band_read_init_offset_map, s_band_read_dnit_offset_map,  
clist_file_offset, top_up_offset_map maintain the table.

5. Inserted a debug printing into gxclutil.c, gxclrast.c .

Fix (clist) : A preparation for providing clist instruction ids and offsets to debug trace.

DETAILS :

We would like this change to be algorithmically equivalent,
but the proof is too complex. Therefore we commit it separately
in order to check for raster differences.

1. Inserted a new field into cmd_prefix_s.
For now this field is never used, but it changes memory allocation.
Due to that the bufferring in the clist writer goes slightly different.
Particularly it may cause new effects while restarting failed instructions.

2. Early return from top_up_cbuf when the stream is over.
The new code does not top up the last portion of the data stream.
It shouldn't be important for the reader, but we can't proove for sure.
This change is necessary because we want to add more fields to gx_clist_state_s,
and the new fields would be invalid after s_close resets stream::state.
See the next patch for details.

Fix (pdfwrite): type 3 fonts with exceedingly small BoundingBox
entries were clamped to 0 or 1.

Details:
Bug #689537 "FontBBox wrong in pdf generated by ps2pdf (breaks
acrobat 8)".

The type 3 font has a FontBBox of [0 0 0.3 0.3]. Because
pdfwrite uses integers to record the font bounding box, this was 
being clampled to [0 0 1 1]. This should not cause a prolem, but
for unknown reasons causes Acrobat 8 to render *very* slowly.

(gdevpdtf.h), 'struct /*type 3*/', alter the FontBBox member from
a gs_int_rect to a gs_rect to preserve floating point box values.

(gdevpdtt.c), pdf_make_font3_resource, copy the font bbox values
instead of floor'ing the lower and ceil'ing the upper values.

(gdevpdfu.c), create a new function 'pdf_write_font_bbox_float'
to write the bbox as floats instead of ints.

(gdevpdfx.h) prototype 'pdf_write_font_bbox_float'

(gdevpdtw.c), pdf_finish_write_contents_type3, use the new
routine to write out a floating point bounding box.

Fix (pdfwrite): named objects, created via a pdfmark such as /BP,
could not have their content modified after the object was completed.

DETAILS:
Bug #689104 "Overwriting transformation /Matrix in XObject previously
created with /BP & /EP pdfmarks".

Some pdfmarks, such as /BP create named objects. These can accumulate
information until a matching pdfmark (/EP in this case) completes the
object. When complete, objects were written to the final destination
PDF file. This made it impossible to later modify the object.

(gdevpfm.c) pdfmark_bind_named_object, change the call to
pdf_substitute_resource to defer writing the object to the
destination file, if the object is named. This means the object is still
available for modification until the end of the job. NB if the object
is not named, we still write it immediately, as there is no mechanism
for modifying an unnamed object, nor do we currently have a mechanism
for maintaining a record of unnamed objects.

Fix: Ignore problematic post table in format 2.0 with ISOLatin1Encoding glyph names.

DETAILS:
Some TrueType fonts converted by "Windows Type 1 Installer" have
problematic post table format 2.0 including MacGlyphEncoding
entries which should be omitted. Such extra entries in the
beginning of glyphName array make /Encoding broken. By checking
if glyph name in post table is predefined one in MacGlyphEncoding,
such problematic post table can be detected. By ignoring such
problematic post table, bug 689495 is fixed.

However, some TrueType fonts designed for Microsoft redefines
MacGlyphEncoding glyph name out of predefined range. To permit
such font, the post table in format 2.0 is checked by
ISOLatin1Encoding which is the cross section of MacGlyphEncoding
and WinAnsiEncoding. ISOLatin1Encoding is enought to fix the
bug 689495.

Change pdf_base.ps::.pdfrun and pdf_sec.ps::.decpdfrun to ensure
"PDFScanRules" == "true" while scanning the PDF, and if necessary revert
it back to "null" before returning. Thanks to SaGS for the patch. Bug 688598.

DETAILS:
The bug is triggered by the construct "//DeviceGray" found in  the sample PDF.
The following command fails with the same error as GSView, and for the
same reason:

    pdfopt.bat media_365163.pdf output.pdf

When Ghostscript interprets a PDF directly, most of the job is done by
LIB\pdf_main.ps::dopdfpages which sets "PDFScanRules" correctly. However,
the initial part of scanning the PDF (trailer dict, ...), and the rebuild
logic scan the PDF with wrong "PDFScanRules". Also GS's own various tools
and GSView don't set/ reset it as needed.

Implementation details:

(A) ".pdfrun" and ".decpdfrun" dinamically construct procedures that do the
real work and immediately execute them. The patch changes  these procedures
to include setting/ restoring "PDFScanRules". If "PDFScanRules" == "true"
already, then "setuserparams" is not called at all, so normally
(when ".[dec]pdfrun" executed during "dopdfpages") there's practically no
impact on performance.

There are also "token" calls outside these 2 procedures, but these calls are
for scanning the xref and "# # obj" lines, which don't contain PDF name
objects.

(B) ".getuserparam" GS-specific operator changed to recognize scanner options
too ("PDFScanRules" and "PDFScanInvNum"). This is needed by ".[dec]pdfrun"
for restoring "PDFScanRules"; also used for an optimization (to omit calling
"setuserparams" when not actually needed).

Note:
    For "Process[DSC]Comment" it returns "true" if a procedure 
    is set, and not the actual procedure. To retrive the 
    procedures (or null if none set), use "currentuserparams". 

(C) ".currentuserparams" is NOT modified, so it does not return scanner
options. If it did, these ended up being put into "userparams" and be
affected by "save"/ "restore" (see the  redefinition of "restore" in
gs_lev2.ps).

Stop reading the xref+trailer at the closing ">>" because PDF 1.7 Reference
made "startxref" optional in some cases. Thanks to SaGS for thr patch.
Bug 688283.

DETAILS:
The PDF 1.7 Reference, section F.2.3 "First-Page Cross-Reference 
Table and Trailer (Part 3)", 2nd paragraph on page 1031 states:

   "The first-page trailer may optionally end with startxref, an 
    integer, and %%EOF, just as in an ordinary trailer. This 
    information is ignored."

(note the word "optionally"), so in such a case a PDF interpreter 
cannot rely on anything particular (like "startxref"/ "startref"/ 
"xref") to follow the trailer dictionary. Now consider a linearized 
PDF being incrementally updated, and you get that in the general 
case a "previous trailer" may lack the "startxref". Apparently, 
Acrobat does a similar thing when creating hybrid-ref PDFs.

Fix (pdfwrite): Type 1 CharStrings could be converted to invalid 
type 2 CharStrings if the glyph program used implicit start points 
for subpaths.

DETAILS:
Bug #689055 "pdfwrite creates a bad Type1C font"

If a type 1 CharString used an implicit point, either the initial point 
(0,0) or the point resulting from a closepath, then the type 2 output 
code duplicated this. Unfortunately this is illegal in type 2 CharStrings
where each subpath must begin with one of the 'move' instructions.

(gdevpsfx.c) psf_convert_type1_to_type2, create a new boolean variable
'need_moveto' initialised to true. When we encounter a move operation,
set it to false. When we encounter a closepath, set it back to true.
Thus this variable is always true at the beginning of a subpath, and 
becomes false as soon as a move instruction is encountered.

While converting type 1 CharStrings, whenever the current instruction is 
a line drawing operation, if 'need_moveto' create a move instruction, 
taking account of any pending glyph widths.


This is only performed on the second (conversion) pass through the type 1 
CharSrtring as we don't need to worry about this during the first (hint 
collection) pass.

Use the proper build machinery to link to cups.

DETAILS:

Previously, the configure script just appended the output of cups-config
to CFLAGS and LIBS which could confuse other parts of the build. The
LIBS setting was actually ignored by cups.mak which hard coded liking
to cups and cupsimage through the genconf -lib option, although it
depended on it for the search patch if cups was in a non-standard
location.

Instead, we parse the output of cups-config to separate the dependent
libraries and additional search paths if any, and pass those through
to genconf in the intended way. This destroys the order of the link
line, but GNU ld, at least, applies all -L paths to all -l libraries,
so that should not distrurb the build. We pass any extra include paths
in a special variable and use it directly when compiling gdevcups.c to
avoid confusing the search path for other components.

Configure also used to ignore cups-config if it found cups/raster.h in
the current search path. We now prefer cups-config.

Abstract the autoconf build's link line flattening for generic use.

DETAILS:

The Ghostscript build system expects a list of bare library names
for specifying library dependencies through the .dev files to
genconf. The configure script had some code to decompose the usual
unix-style "-lX11 -lXt" link flags returned by AC_PATH_XTRA.

As we've added more optional external libraries to the autoconf
build, this has become a general need, so the code is now abstracted
into an autoconf macro for use elsewhere in the configure script.

Fix (pdfwrite) : An integer arithmetic overflow while converting Type 1 CharStrings into Type 2.

DETAILS :

Bug #689106 "Wrong charpath direction in PDF"
Patch from Rolf Becker with minor improvements.

A processing of big integers was implemented in gstype1.c
while rendering a glyph, but it was not implemented
in pdfwrite while converting a Type 1 font into Type 2.
It caused an incorrect glyph outlines embedded into PDF.
This patch factors out the old processing as a new
function gs_type1_check_float and applies it in gdevpsfx.c .
The function prototype is added to gxtype1.h as it needs to be public.

The patch also improves comments in code
because now we understand better what happens in there.
For more details see comments in code.

The change to gstype1.c is algorithmically equivalent
except inserting a new check for overflow in float2fixed.
The new check may fail when the old code
renders an incorrect outline.
We have no practical cases that demonstrate it.

ps2write: When encountering font names which contain unfortunate characters
such as white space, or delimiters, emit the name as an escaped string and 
'cvn' instead of a literal name.

DETAILS:
Bug #689420 "Errors with ps2write and special chars in FontName"

Patch from SaGS with some minor improvements.

Fonts whose name contains white space, or delimiter characters (eg /,(,[ etc)
were being written into the type 1 font stream using the name unchanged. This 
causes the resulting PostScript to fail on any PostScript interpreter. The 
exact error varies depending on the placement of the invalid character and 
the following data.

This is now handled by emitting the font name as a string, and using the cvn
operator to convert the string to a name, escaping characters if required. 
Note that both the C portion of the code needs to change, in order to write 
escaped names, and the PostScript prolog in order to undo any name escapement.

1. (gdevpsf1.c) write_font_name, check to see if the font name contains any
   characters which we need to escape. If so, then use the existing routine
   's_PSSE_template.process' to convert the name to an escaped character 
   sequence.

   Update the write_font_name routine so that it optionally writes a name
   to the output. If the name does not need escaping, then simply prepend a
   '/' to make a literal name, otherwise append a 'cvn' to convert the 
   escaped string to a name. When writing out the font header we just need
   the font name as a human readable string. When writing the /FontName
   entry in the font dictionary we need a PostScript name, either a literal
   or a PostScript escaped string converted to a name. (see below)

2. (gdevpsf1.c) psf_write_type1_font, alter the use of write_font_name in two
   places. Firstly to emit the name as part of the font comment, secondly to
   put the name as the value for the /FontName key in the fotn dictionary. In
   the first case we write it as a simple string, in the second as a name.

3. (opdfread.ps) The TypeDameons procedure extracts the FontName from the Font
   dictionary in the body of the job. Since the FontName can now be escaped,
   we need to undo the escapement before defining the font. Firstly we define
   a new procedure 'UnPDFEscape', secondly we call this when dealing with the
   FontName and the BaseFont keys, in order to convert the escaped name back
   to a normal name, so that the font can be found with findfont.

pdfwrite: When writing the /CreationDate /ModDate keys in the Info dictionary,
properly write the system local time instead of UTC.

DETAILS:
Bug #688783 "commit 6892 mis-uses the TZ environmental"

A rather lengthy thread, but in essence quite simple. A change to calculate
the system local time as an offset from UTC, and store this information in 
the form described in the PDF Reference (Section 3.8.3 "Dates" on p133 of 
the 1.6 PDF Reference).

The patch uses code supplied by SaGS.

(gdevpdf.c) pdf_initialize_ids, use the C runtime 'time' and 'gmtime' to 
determine the difference between local system time and GMT. Use this to 
calculate the difference (positive, negative, or none) from GMT, and the
number of hours and minutes comprising the difference. Use 'localtime' to
find the local system date and time.

Take all of the information from above, and format the result according to
the specification in the PDF Reference:

(D:YYYYMMDDhhmmssZhh'mm')

Where YYYY=4 digit local time year
        MM=2 digit local time month
        DD=2 digit local time day
        hh=2 digit local time hours (24 hour)
        mm=2 digit local time minutes
        ss=2 digit local time seconds
         Z=offset of local time from UTC
           Z=no difference
           +=local time later than UTC
           -=local time earlier than UTC
       hh'=hours difference between local time and UTC

Added code to the pxlcolor device (gdevpx.c) to set the color space even
if the test for "portrait transformations" fails.

DETAILS:

The pclxl_begin_image() function performs a rather complicated test to
see if the image transformation can be "handled" (line 1434).  If this
test fails the routine falls through to using gx_default_begin_image().
However, in this case the pcl-xl color space is never set and if
the previous color space was eGray the pcl-xl stream will fail with
ExtraData (because 3 times as much data as expected will be written).
Presumably the inverse is also true, but I don't have a test case for it.

The solution is to call pclxl_set_color_space() in the use_default
case (a possibly more correct solution would be to call
pclxl_set_color_palette()).

Fix (stroking) : Prevent installing an extra clipper device, step 2.

DETAILS :

Bug 689427 "Superposed clippers".

The last patch doesn't fix the problem when stroking
a path with a shading color.

The new code distinguishes 3 cases :

1. When painting happens through low level device methods
which don't accept a clipping path. It happens inside 
stroke_fill, so the new code passes the clipper device to it.

2. When the painting happens through fill_path, 
which does handle a clipping path. It happens inside
FILL_STROKE_PATH, so the new code doesn't pass the clipper to it,
but passes the clipping path as it worked before the last patch.

3. When the stroking algorithm is called from 'strokepath',
don't need a clipping at all. This case works as before,
but the new code doesn't construct a clipping device.

Minor change : Added a new argument 'dev' to the macro
FILL_STROKE_PATH to simplify the code understanding and debugging.

This is an optimization, which should be algorithmically equivalent.

For bands outside the transparency bounding box the old code
allocated a zero length buffer and performed fake operations with it.

Others prevent an access to the buffer when it is not allocated.

Note that in some cases the new check is excessive

pdfwrite: Allow downsampling of images in a /Indexed colour space, provided the
downsampling type is 'subsample'.

DETAILS:
Bug 689265 "PDF created by GS 8.57 is much larger than from competitive creator"

The original job contains several images, including one large one, which are in a 
/Indexed colour space. We can't use average or bicubic downsampling with /Indexed
colour space, because the colours in the space may not be linear. It ought to be
possible to use subsampling though.

Where we previously checked the image colour space and decided to disable downsampling
if the colour space was /Indexed, we now additionally check the downsampling type
and permit it if the type is 'Subsample'.

(gdevpdfi.c) pdf_begin_typed_image, check the downsample type as well as the colour 
space before deciding not to allow downsampling. 

(gdevpdsi.c) psdf_setup_image_filters, check if the colour space is /Indexed before 
deciding which set of image parameters to use (2 places). Also, if we do encounter a
/Indexed space, make the compression filter into Flate to ensure we don't try and use any 
kind of JPEG compression, which may not work properly with Indexed spaces, and in any case
is not the most appropriate type of compression in this situation.

pdfwrite: Alter the AIIM URL emitted when creating PDF/A files.

DETAILS:
Bug #689375 ""

When writing PDF/A files we need to put a URL for the AIIM group in the metadata. Previously we were writing 'http://www.aiim.org/pdfa/ns/id.html' which is what Acrobat 7 does, now we write 'http://www.aiim.org/pdfa/ns/id/' which is what Acrobat 8 does.

(gzpdfe.c) pdf_write_document_metadata change the URL as above.

pdfwrite: when encountering a glyph in a type 3 font for which no Charproc is defined 
emit a simple setcachedevice operation instead of an empty stream.

DETAILS:
Bug #688834 "Undefined characters in Type 3 fonts cause PDF conversion to fail"

The original report, based on an older version of pdfwrite, states that an error occurs with 
pdfwrite when using glyphs from a type 3 font where there is no charproc defined for the
glyphs.

In fact, with the current version of pdfwrite, no error occurs, but the resulting file
causes Acrobat to give warnings and display the result incorrectly. NB other PDF consumers
do not behave this way.

This appears to be caused by pdfwrite emitting an empty stream (length 0), because no charproc 
is captured for the glyph (since it has none). For some reason Acrobat takes exception to this.

A simple solution is to write a stream which is not empty. The sequence '0 0 0 0 0 0 d1'
, a

setcachedevice with arguments all 0, resolves the problem.

(gdevpdtt.c) In pdf_text_process, after capturing a Charproc for a type 3 font, check the length
of the stream. If it is 0 bytes, then emit '0 0 0 0 0 0 d1' and carry on.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Ignore font errors that do not belong to embedded subset.

DETAILS :

Bug 689068 "ps2pdf13 fails with Error: /invalidfont in --ashow--".

The document could successfully rasterize,
but failed with invalidfont when converting to PDF.
It happened due to a missed glyph,
which is not atually used in the doeument.

The patch skips font errors that do not belong to the font subset.
However if the user requests to embed a complete font,
a warning is printed to stderr and the document fails
due to the font error as before the patch.

Changes :

1. gdevpdtb.c : Process a coplete font copy error as explained above.

2. gsfont.c : Ignore missed glyphs when computing the "fixed width" font feature.

pdfwrite: Convert 'text' followed by 'text charpath stroke' to a single text
operation by using text rendering mode 2.

DETAILS:
Bug #689310 "Offset between text and outline in pdfwrite.dev"

Emitting text, followed by the same text as an argument to charpath, and then stroking the
resulting path previously resulted in a large path being emitted and stroked in the PDF file. 

This is inefficient, but worse the path is not grid fitted, whereas the text is. When
used to stroke the outline of previously rendered text, either in a different colour or to
create a 'bold' effect, the emitted path did not always precisely match the rendered text.

This change is to emit this PostScript construct using the closest available match in PDF, 
which is the text rendering mode. There are two parts to this change, firstly to identify 
when a path is the result of a charpath, and secondly to merge text followed by charpath/stroke
operations into a single operation on output.

1. (gzpath.h) Add a new member 'last_charpath_segment' to the gx_path_s structure. Update the
   path garbage collection code for relocation of new variable.

2. (gxpath.c) Initialise the new member 'last_charpath_segment' to 0 in
   gx_path_init_contents, and also in path_alloc_copy to prevent copies being identified as
   the result of a charpath.

3. (gxchar.c) We need to be able to tell if a path was the result of a charpath. To do this
   we store the final segment of a path in 'last_charpath_segment' of the path
   structure during show_finish, if the current operation was a charpath. See also item 11.

4. (gdevpdfx.h) Add a new member 'last_charpath_op' to the gx_device_pdf_s structure, to
   hold the boolean argument associated with a charpath operation. Also add to the 
   pdf_substream_s structure to allow us to save and restore this value on entry to or
   exit from a PDF substream.

5. (gdevpdti.c) Save and restore the value of last_charpath_op in pdf_enter_substream
   and pdf_exit_substream.

6. (gdevpdfx.h) Add a new member variable 'last_charpath_op' to the 'pdf_substream_save_s' 
   structure to allow us to save and restore the last_charpath_op as noted above.

7. (gdevpdtt.c) During gdev_pdf_text_begin, if the operation is a charpath, check the
   following conditions, if met then store a copy of the charpath boolean variable in 
   a new member of the gx_device_pdf_s structure.
       1. Operation must be a charpath
       2. Current path must be empty (can't handle charpath concatenated to existing path)
       3. The font being used for the current text must be the same as the font used for
          the previous stored (but not yet emitted) text.
       4. The initial point of the text for the charpath must match the initial point of
          the previous stored text.
       5. The text bytes must be the same as the previous stored text.
       6. The point size of the text must match the previous stored text.
   Also, move the calculation of the font point size out of pdf_update_text_state so that
   we can calculate the size in pdf_compare_text_state_for_charpath' defined in 9 below
   without duplicating code.

8. (gdevpdtt.h) Prototype 'pdf_calculate_text_size'

9. (gdevpdts.c) Add a new function 'pdf_compare_text_state_for_charpath' to do the 
   checking noted above. The pdf_text_state_s structure is not defined publicly, so 
   we need code to access its members. Also add a function 'pdf_modify_text_render_mode'
   which will attempt to add a rendering mode (stroke, fill or clip) to existing text
   by updating the existing text rendering mode. Returns 0 if the existing text cannot
   be modified, and we fall back to emitting a path and stroke.

10. (gdevpdts.h) Add prototypes for the functions required in 9.

11. (gdevpdfd.c) In pdf_stroke_path, if the 'last_charpath_op' member of the pdf device
   structure is set, perform some more checks (below) and if passed, set the text render
   mode of the stored text, set the stroke colour, set the line width, and force the stored
   text to be emitted. This conveniently results in a gsave/grestore pair round the
   graphics state changes.
      1. The last charpath operation must have been 'false charpath'
      2. There must be a non-empty path (result of the charpath operation)
      3. The 'last_charpath_segment' stored in the path must match the actual last segment
         in the path. (can't handle path segments added to the result of a charpath)

12. (gdevpdfg.h) Make the pdf_reset_color routine public, as we need to be able to set the 
   colour from pdf_stroke_path.

13. (gddevpdfg.c) We need to be able to set a stroke colour while in a TEXT context,
   previously the routine pdf_reset_color, which emits colours and spaces, immediately
   switched to a STREAM context, which caused pending text to be flushed. pdf_reset_color
   was only called from two places, pdf_set_drawing_color and pdf_set_pure_color. The
   switch to a STREAM context has been moved to these routines, leaving pdf_reset_color to
   actually do the work without worrying about the context.
   It was found necessary to also reproduce some checks before switching context, to
   prevent unnecessary context switches.
   Removed unused local variable 'process_color' from pdf_reset_color.

There is scope for additional enhancement with this code. Presently there is no attempt to
deal with 'charpath gsave fill grestore stroke' constructs, nor to handle clipping paths 
resulting from charpath. There may be other possibilities.

Fix: (TT font handler) : Use given prebuilt_encoding when Apple Roman TrueType cmap subtable is chosen

DETAILS:
As current implementation assumes /prebuilt_encoding[] is
compatible with WinAnsiEncoding when Microsoft UCS2 TrueType
cmap subtable is chosen, current implementation assumes
/prebuilt_encoding[] is same with MacRomanEncoding when
Apple Roman TrueType cmap subtable is chosen.
/prebuilt_encoding[] is completely ignored and the inverse
of MacRomanEncoding is used. Therefore, when Apple Roman
TrueType cmap subtable is chosen but /Encoding is
StandardEncoding or PDFDocEncoding, some characters are
shown by wrong glyphs. This patch uses /prebuild_encoding[]
if it's given, when Apple Roman TrueType cmap subtable is
chosen.

According to PDF Ref 1.7 p. 431, MacRomanEncoding does not
cover all characters in Apple Roman TrueType cmap subtable,
16 characters are missing. To exploit the glyphs as many
as possible via Apple Roman TrueType cmap subtable, this
patch introduces "MacRomanEncodingForTrueType" including
missing 16 characters. By this change, 16 glyphnames
can be exploited via Apple Roman TrueType cmap subtable.

There might be broken TrueType fonts that use the names
in MacRomanEncoding at incompatible 8bit charcode. The
text drawn by such fonts would be broken, the results are
unexpected.

Fix: Preprocess the glyphnames in prebuilt_encoding by AdobeGlyphList for Microsft UCS2 cmap subtable

DETAILS:
According to PDF Ref 1.7 p. 430, Adobe modern products
always prioritize Microsoft UCS2 TrueType cmap subtable
regardless with /Encoding, as far as the font is declared
as Nonsymbolic by /Flags. For example, even if /Encoding
is MacRomanEncoding, Microsoft UCS2 TrueType cmap subtable
is prioritized than Apple Roman TrueType cmap subtable.
The encoding of Microsoft UCS2 TrueType cmap is not a
superset of MacRomanEncoding, see PDF Ref 1.7 Appendix D.
Current implementation expects the content of /Encoding 
is always compatible with chosen TrueType cmap subtable,
thus unexpected mismatching causes loss of glyph like:
bug 689351 "Content Loss for certain Embedded Type42 Glyphs with gs8.57"

When Microsoft UCS2 TrueType cmap subtable is chosen,
the glyphnames used in /prebuilt_encoding[] should be
preprocessed: the glyphnames changed to the charcode
compatible with Microsoft UCS2 encoding scheme, before
combining with charcode-glyph mapping table in Microsoft
UCS2 TrueType cmap subtable. The preprocessing should
be done by AdobeGlyphList that maps known glyphnames
to UCS2 charcode. The unknown glyphnames are left to
second processing in /.pdfmapchars. This preprocess
fixes bug 689351.

There might be broken TrueType fonts that use the names
in AdobeGlyphList at incompatible UCS2 charcode. The text
drawn by such fonts would be broken, the results are
unexpected.

Fix : A crash in garbager after clist playback fails in image.

DETAILS :

This problem was occasionally detected when disk overflow happens with 
the test case of the bug 689440.

device_clist_enum_ptrs, device_clist_reloc_ptrs process
gx_device_clist::writer.clip_path when image_enum_id is not zero.
The clist playback code sets it when processing an image.
We guess it was done to avoid redundant clist writing,
and we think it's not a best way to do that.

If an image processing fails with an error,
the old code  does not reset image_enum_id.
Later (when the interpreter closes) 
the garbager processes gx_device_clist::writer.clip_path .
But in the test case it appears to be a pointer from global memory
to local memory, and its relocation appears wrong.
A crash happens while validating the heap after the relocation.

We're not sure why gx_device_clist::writer.clip_path
needs to be set between image plane data portions,
and why the garbager methods are coded to process it.
We guess all these manipulations are wrong,
and a right way should be to call cmd_check_clip_path
in clist_image_plane_data. 

See also comment in cmd_check_clip_path : 
"The clip path might have moved in memory".
We guess it assumes that the pointer is not relocated
when image_enum_id is zero and the ppointer is set.
We guess it should be regular assumption
for all cases, and the clist device garbager methods
must never process it.

This patch applies a minimal change to prevent the crash,
and does not close other suspections.
The change simply closes the image enumerator
when writing to it ends with an error.

Bug 689249 "Major performance degradation rendering PDF",

The revision 7123 implements a conversion of imagemask

Banding : Extend clist language with trapezoids, linear color trapezoids and linear color triangles (continued 8).

DETAILS :

Bug 689436 "pattern rendering regression with revision 8095".

Do not write tile phase to clist before trying to write the color.
If the latter fails, the phase may become wrong due to 
overloading cmd_opv_set_tile_phase with tile phase and device halftone phase.

With the test case the old code, when writing a trapezoid to clist, 
first writes halftone phase, then fails to write the pattern color 
and falls back to gx_default_fill_trapezoid.
The latter writes strip_copy_rop with it own phases.
But the clist reader expects strip_copy_rop phase to be written
*after* the tile header, so the reader misses the phase sychronizm.

The fix simply delays writing the phase after the color is written.

Update pdfwrite to handle type 0 fonts with type 1 or type 2 descendant fonts (continued).

DETAILS:
Bug #689212 "irregular baselines - gs pdfwrite changes CFF to Type 3". There are no functional changes, the new code behaves the same as the old. The
temporary buffer allocated in pdf_text_process is used to hold the list of glyph
name indices, and the working buffer of indices for pdf_obtain_font_resource_unencoded,
rather than allocating new memory. This considerably simplifies the clean-up on
error in scan_cmap_text.

1. gdevpdtt.c In pdf_text_process, ensure that enough memory is available in the
   temporary buffer. We need to promote character codes to glyph name indices, so
   we need storage for as many glyph name indices as there were input character
   codes. In addition, we need a temporary buffer of the same size for
   pdf_obtain_font_resource_unencoded (maximum required) so we need to double this amount.

2. Update process_cmap_text to pass the buffer allocated in pdf_text_process, and
   passed as an argument to process_cmap_text, to scan_cmap_text.

3. Alter the definition of scan_cmap_text to take the temporary buffer as an
   argument. Modify the code in scan_cmap_text to use the temporary buffer rather
   than allocating new space. Remove all the code for allocating and especially freeing
   the temporary memory. Some corrections to indenting also performed here.

Update pdfwrite to handle type 0 fonts with type 1 or type 2 descendant fonts.

DETAILS
Bug #689212 "irregular baselines - gs pdfwrite changes CFF to Type 3"

There was previously no code in pdfwrite to handle type 0 fonts with type 1 descendant 
fonts. This caused pdfwrite to 'fall back' to the default implementartion which converts
glyphs to a type 3 bitmap font.

This change is to enable scalable fonts to be embedded in the output. NB it is not 
possible, in PDF, to construct a type 0 font with anything other than CIDFonts as 
descendants, and we must therefore output one or more type 1 fonts to do the job.

1. (gdevpdtt.c) in scan_cmap_text add a case to handle a type 1 descendant font. The main
    work is done in this routine; we create a list of glyph name indices representing 
    each of the input character codes and later we use pdf_obtain_font_resource_unencoded
    and the TEXT_FROM_GLYPHS operation to mark the font usage, and create an 'encoded'
    string for output.

    If font->procs.next_char_glyph returns a glyph name index, then we simply add it to
    our list, if it returns a character code (a CMap can map a character code in the type
    0 font to a character code in a descendant font) then we use the descendant font
    'procs.encode_char' to get a glyph.

    Once we have a complete list of glyphs, we pass it to
    pdf_obtain_font_resource_unencoded to add the glyphs to the encoding, and return a
    string where the character codes match the newly created/modified encoding.

    Finally we pass the encoded string and glyph list to process_text_modify_width, using
    the descendant font.

    A couple of minor points; its possible to change descendant fonts in the middle of a
    string, and we need to cope with that, hence the copying of the last glyph in the list
    when a font_change occurs. Its possible to return a different pdfont if we run out of
    encoding positions in the current one, which can result in multiple type 1 fonts in
    the output.

2. We need to use the function adjust_first_last_char, which was defined private in
   gdevpdte.c, so this has been made public.

3. A prototype for adjust_first_last_char has been added to gdevpdtt.h

4. The function reserve_char_code_in_pdfont was written to handle single glyphs, it can
   now be called with multiple glyphs. The loop for re-using positions in the encoding
   with /.notdef codes didn't use the 'last_reserved_char' argument, which meant that it
   kept returning the same position. To prevent this it now pays attention to the
   'last_reserved_char' argument.

5. Finally, the routine pdf_make_text_glyphs_table_unencoded, which calls
   reserve_char_code_in_pdfont also did not previously expect to be called with multiple
   glyphs. The loop below do_unkown has been modified to use a local variable, instead of
   pdfont->u.simple.last_reserved_char. THis means that, should an error occur, the value
   of pdfont->u.simple.last_reserved_char will not be modified.

Fix (TT fonts) : Suppress loading trailing data after chosen cmap subtable.

DETAILS:

The current cmap selector/loader tries to load a subtable
for Microsoft platform && UCS2 encoding with anything
in trailer, although only MS+UCS2 subtable is used.
Thus, if the cmap table has several additional subtables
after MS+UCS2 subtable (e.g. multiple 16bit cmap subtable
for Shift-JIS/Big5/GB2312/Wansung/Johab, or very long
32bit subtable in format 8/10/12, or simple junk data),
cmap subtable loader tries to load MS+UCS2 subtable and
trailing garbage, and tries to define /cmaptab for
concatenated string of them. So, rangecheck or limitcheck
error can occur due to too-long string. Typical example
is found in bug 688337 which is caused by TrueType font
including cmap subtable in format 12.

If we restrict the scope to MS+UCS2 subtable, it must
not be greater than 0xFFFF bytes. Because cmap subtable
headers in format 0,2,4,6 define these tables length in
16bit. The cmap parser is fixed to check the subtable
header content and read exact length of chosen subtable,
to exclude trailing garbage.

In addition, /getinterval_from_stringarray has a bug
that appears when the end of requested string just fits
to the gap of member strings. The bug is fixed, too.

By this patch, bug 688337 is fixed.

DIFFERENCE:

Fix (font rendering) : alloc_char_bits could fall into infinite loop.

DETAILS :

Bug 689036 "infinite loop in char cache logic".

The character cache algorithm assumes that a pointer to
any allocated cached_char instance appears somewhere in ccache.table .
However from the old experience we know that
this obvious invariant appears frequently broken due 
to inaccurate manipulation with cache by clients.
For example, a client sometimes reserves and initializes 
a cached_char instance and then fail due to another error 
before storing the pointer to ccache.table.

In the old code a cycle in alloc_char_bits 
strongly depends on this invariant, 
and therefore it is potentially harmful.
In the past we have got a lot of bugs about it.
Now we restrict the cycle with the cache size.
Changed few function prototypes with returning error
if the invariant is broken.
Note that the graphics library interface changes,
so other interpreters must update the calls to 
alloc_char_bits.

Fix (pdfwrite) : Properly handle FontMatrix of a Type 3 font.

DETAILS :

Bug 689267 "File converted to PDF displays badly in Acrobat".

Patch from SaGS. His explanation is quoted below.

Part #1: pdfwrite fixes (gdevpdti.c, gdevpdte.c, gdevpdtt.h, gdevpdtt.c :

- Generalize pdfwrite computations for glyph widths and placement, 
  which currently assume an [s 0 0 s tx ty]-type original (= ignoring 
  changes made by makefont & similar) FontMatrix, to work with an 
  arbitrary matrix.

- Fix: the "wy" operand of "d0"/"d1" in Type 3 charproc streams must 
  be zero. Note: other parts of the code already consider wy == 0, 
  and don't need to be changed.

- Remove font_orig_scale() and pdf_font3_scale(), which are not used 
  anymore. Their simple presence is a sign of the assumption that 
  font matrices are simple scalings.

- Minor: remove a dead variable ("int code = 0; ... return code;"). 
  This variable is never changed, because there's another "int code" 
  inside the "for", but it is confusing and takes a lot of research 
  to figure out the behaviour is OK and no usefull error code is 
  lost (it's the 2nd time I stumble against this...)

Notes:
  - All non-Adobe PDF viewers that I tested (Evince/ Fedora 7, 
    Foxit Reader 2.0/ Windows, Jaws PDF Editor 3.5/ Windows, and 
    Ghostscript -r8204) have problems with "weird" font matrices.
    The bug in ghostscript is addressed below.
  - I do have an alternate patch, which "normalises" the 
    FontMatrix, for better viewers compatibility . But this method 
    cannot work when fonts are not embedded: cannot "normalize" 
    something stored in an external file.

 part #2: PDF interpreter fixes (pdf_font.ps, pdf_ops.ps) :

- Force the "wy" parameter of "d0", not only of "d1", in Type 3 
  charproc streams to 0. Comment changed to suggest this is an action 
  is expected to be done as part of enforcing the metrics stored in 
  the PDF (which always imply wy == 0), and not some strange 
  behaviour in Reader.

- A detail in PDF1.7 Ref 5.3.3 "Text Space Details" states that "wy" 
  (or "wx" in WMode 1) must be forced to 0 in PDF text space too, not 
  only in PDF glyph space. To implement this with non-[s 0 0 s tx ty] 
  font matrices, a different method is used: decode "show" strings 
  and extract glyph widths with "cshow", put these into an array, 
  then render the text with "x/yshow".
  - since "wy/x" = 0 in glyph space, the code does not need to use 
    "idtransform", a "div" by "FontMatrix.xx" is sufficient;
  - use a trick (see comment in code) when "FontMatrix.xx" = 0.

CIDFonts are not changed. Those with a "straight" matrix continue to 
work, but there's no improvement if they have a weird "/FontMatrix". 
I think this would require a radical change, and the result will be 
much slower than it is now.

part #3: supplemental ps2write fixes (in opdfread.ps).

- opdfread.ps assumed the FontMatrix is a simple scaling by 0.001;
  generalize the computations to work with an arbitrary matrix.

- Implement a detail of PDF1.7 Ref 5.3.3 "Text Space Details" (nuking 
  the "wy" in text space) if a non-[s 0 0 s tx ty] "/FontMatrix". 
  Similar to the change in the main PDF interpreter, but shorter 
  because opdfread.ps does not handle vertical writing or CID fonts. 

Also "wy" in "d0"/"d1" is already 0 (see patch for pdfwrite), so 
needs no adjustment.

Fix (TT font handling) : pdfwrite recieved meanless font names.

DETAILS :

Bug 688006 "Font names used with pdfwrite are strange with GS, OK with Adobe Distiller".

This is a continuation for the Revision 5862 change 
made on Wed Apr 20 20:05:41 2005 UTC (2 years, 4 months ago) by ray.

Thanks to Edward for a code sample for accounting font style string.

1. (zbfont.c) When a Postscript file is generated with Adobe printer driver for Windows,
the old code (sinse Revision 5862) extracts OrigFintName 
for building a meanful FontName.
This patch adds an use of OrigFontStyle as suggested by Edward,
so the FontName is created in the form "Arial,Bold".

2. (zfcid1.c) The old code sometimes dropped the good FontName in zbuildfont11 
due to an extra call to get_font_name. Few lines above
the function build_gs_TrueType_font creates the good font name
during an indirect call to sub_font_params, so the call to  
get_font_name is not necesary when OrigFontName presents.
However it is still necessary with regular FontType 11
because they have no FontName and sub_font_params
doesn't use CIDFontName.

3. (zfcid0.c) Applying the (2) change to FontType 9 as for symmetry.
We're tested it a few, but we have no untrivial examples
when a FontType 9 is embedded with OrigFontName.
Maybe (just guessing) ones could be obtained with installing
Adobe Type Library and printing with Adobe printer driver.

4. After doing all above, we unexpectedly detected a regression 
with comparefiles/korea.ps : all Korean glyphs were replaced with
hollow boxes. Analyzing it we found that the document defines a 
composite font with to CIDFontType 2 descendent,
which both appears to be same font. In same time,
the CMap supplies different CIDs for those 2
descendents for a half of code space. While the old code
used meanless unique font names, those 2 descendents
were converted to 2 PDF fonts. When we switched to the meanful name,
which of course is same for both descendents,
pdfwrite tries to merge the descendents.
However doing so it assumed same character mapping
for both descendents.

To fix this problem more changes are done to pdfwrite :

4.1. (gdevpdtf.h) The font descriptor of a type 0 font now stores font_index,
which is the index of its descendent font in the DescendentFonts array
of the source Type 0 font. This happens because in PDF type 0 fonts
always have a single descendent.

4.2. (gdevpdtf.c) Added an initialization for the new field.

4.2. (gdevpdtt.c, gdevpdtt.h) pdf_obtain_parent_type0_font_resource creates
unique type 0 fonts for each descendent in spite of same font name.

4.3 (gdevpdtc.c) pdf_obtain_parent_type0_font_resource needs 
font index as a new argument.

4.4. (gdevpdtt.c) pdf_find_type0_font_resource also takes the new parameter.

With Korea.ps we create 2 font subsets where a single font
would be enough. An optimization may be done with a dynamic
check for encoding conflicts rather than creating another font
for each font index of the CMap. Delaying it for better times.

Fix (font rendering) : CIDFontType 9 missed PaintType.

DETAILS :

Bug 687970 "PaintType and StrokeWidth ignored with CIDFonts".

To make a decision about filling or stroking,
the old code uses PaintType of the current font,
However with CIDFont 9 it is a Type 1 subsidiary,
which has no PaintType.

The patch implements the 'or' logic for the PaintType of the root font
and the PaintType of the current font. We believe it should 
correctly handle cases when PaintType 2 is set to
a root font or to its descendent. However we have not enough 
practical test cases to test all varuiants.

Particularly, we would like to test a Type 0 font with
2 descendents, each of which is CIDFontType 9
and they have didfferent PaintType.
In such case this patch may need a further improvement.

The desision about filling or stroking a character is done in type1exec_bbox
and in nobbox_finish. The patch also passes a pointer to gs_text_enum_t instance 
to type1exec_bbox to provide the data for the decision.

Fix (TT fonts) : Ignore invalid entries in loca table.

DETAILS : 

Some problematic TrueType fonts have loca table that
the offset to a data in glyf table is larger than
the size of glyf table. In previous implementation
since trunk revision 5707 (ghostscript-8.57), when
such invalid entry is found, the font loading procedure
is immediately aborted and invalid font error is
returned. To continue the problematic TrueType object,
the invalid entries of loca tables now are ignored and
the font loading procedure is continued. If all entries
are invalid, the invalid font error is returned.

After the sorting of loca table entries by their values,
the invalid entries with too large offsets are collected
in the end of the sorted loca entries (psortary[]).
By this patch, the sorted loca entries are scanned from
from the end to the beginning, and the number of valid
entry is counted (num_valid_loca_elm). By this number,
the invalid loca entries are initialized to have null
glyph (the data size of glyph is set to 0).

By this patch, bug 689347 is fixed.

This set of changes is an example for users or Artifex customers
that want to intercept the color spaces and perform their own
color space conversion for the CIEBased or ICCBased color spaces,
converting all of these spaces to the PostScript color management
link space "CIE XYZ". There were changes needed to implement this
that transcended the original custom color callback scheme, but
the approach taken is intended to minimize changes to the color
space processing.

Artifex customer #330

DETAILS:

Rather than rely on the hack in gx_cie_to_xyz_alloc that sets the
pis->cie_render to ~0, we establish a separate boolean for this,
cie_to_xyz which indicates that we don't need a CRD (gxistate.h,
gsistate.c, gsciemap.c, gscie.c). Note that the gx_cie_to_xyz_alloc
function is also used in the lab_range function in gdevpdfk.c
to construct an L*a*b* ICC conversion space for the pdfwrite
device.

The 'pclient_color_space_data' is now handled in the ENUM and
RELOC procedures for the gs_color_space base structure shared
by all color spaces (gscspace.c). A side effect of this is that
the pclient_color_space_data structure MUST be allocated with
appropriate GC structure calls an with an appropriate GC type
of macro to identify the structure for the GC and establish
the ENUM and RELOC hooks. This was needed to allow a gs_imager_state
structure to be allocated for the CIE color spaces and to have
both structures to be 'known' to the GC logic.

The CIE_LOAD_CACHE_BODY macro and the gx_install_cie_abc function
are now exported in gscie.h rather than local to gscie.c so that
gsncdummy.c and other custom callback clients can use them.

Finally, the gsncdummy.c module now includes example handling
that allow the graphics library to convert colors to XYZ if
the original color space was one of the CIEBased or ICCBased
spaces. Since CIE XYZ to L*a*b* is a direct conversion, this
allows clients to work with device independent color.

The conversion from XYZ to ICC L*a*b* code exists in gdevpdfk.c
in the function xyz_to_lab() which might be useful enough to
export in the future. For the short term clients can 'clone'
this small function if needed into their own color callback
processing.

Note that -dUseCIEColor (or << /UseCIEColor true >> setpagedevice
PostScript sequence) will mean that all Device* colorspaces also
get mapped through the Default* colorspaces to XYZ (DeviceGray,
DeviceRGB and DeviceCMYK).

sense to allow for some of the higher level directory variables to be
used, simplifying changing it for testing from a particular gs checkout
that has been modified. Also having some of the other values able to
be relative to 'root' (for the comparefiles, database, etc.) would be

Fix (transparency in clist) : Write transparent paths and images to clist as high level objcts.

DETAILS :

Bug 689186 "PDF segfaults or exits with no output".

With the test case the old code creates a 2.5Gb clist file, 
because it transformes transparent paths and images into rectangles.
The new code writes them as high level objects,
so that the clist file reduces to 477Mb.

1. (gdevp14.c) The old code appears to provide all necessary
methods for writing paths and images to clist as high level objects,
but doesn't call them. To activate them we simply replace default implementations
with forwarding methods in pdf14_clist_*_device.

2. (gdevp14.c) The old code sets the lop_pdf14 flag to
the clist reader's imager state. Particularly
it may be set when calling p14dev->pdf14_procs->put_image.
It causes gx_image_enum_begin to fail,
and the image silently dissappers from the output.
We fixed it with resetting the flag immediately before
calling p14dev->pdf14_procs->put_image.
A better way would be to synchronize log_op
in clist_create_compositor, but we don't like to
write it to all bands as other compoitor commands do.

3. (gdevp14.h, gdevp14.c) New fields inserted into pdf14_device_t
to provide a synchronization of encode_color, decode_color, get_color_mapping_procs,
get_color_comp_index with changing color_info. Debugged with pkmraw -r300 Bug688631.pdf .
Without them the 1bpc color conversions 
were called from pdf14_cmap_cmyk_direct with an 8bpc color,
causing an almost white page instead blue axial and radial shadings.

4. (gdevm4.c) The old code defines a wrong color_info for mem_mapped4_device.
It defines 3 components instead the correct value 4 (3 colored and 1 gray).

5. (gdevp14.c) During the clist playback the new code does not change color_info
for the clist writer (p14dev->target->color_info). We marked this change
with the comment :
/* Disabled because *p14dev has no forwarding methods during the clist playback. */
We ise #if 0 because we're not sure why the old code does so.
We suspect it was done by a mistake and has no any effect.
#if 0 will keep it for a while.

More possible optimization :

1. Use pdf14_buf::bbox when back dropping a transparency buffer.
2. Use pdf14_buf::rect to restrict bands which set up the transparency compositor.

Version 8.60 (2007-08-01)

This is a new stable release of the Ghostscript codebase. The most significant change is the merge of drivers and other patches from ESP Ghostscript. This version of Ghostscript work with CUPS and is intended to be a replacement for the Easy Software fork going forward. We extend a special thanks to Till Kamppeter and Mike Sweet for making this happen.

In addition to CUPS support, the ESP merge includes a number of other notable changes. The contrib directory of the GPL Ghostscript source tree now includes a much larger complement of drivers. These are not maintained by Artifex Software, Inc. and are not included in the commercially licensed version, but are of great assistance maintaining support for older printers in Linux distribution. The X11 device is now modularized on Linux and Solaris systems when built with GNU ld, meaning this device is compiled as a separate shared object which can be optionally loaded at runtime, allowing the main binary to work on systems without X client support installed.

This release also includes numerous important bug fixes over the previous stable version, as well as improvements to performance, memory footprint, shading and image handling. We recommend upgrading to all users.

The following bugs were open at the time of release:

226943, 430175, 465936, 493348, 535932, 578865, 610478, 614298, 626295, 686747, 686853, 686865, 687011, 687039, 687084, 687095, 687108, 687146, 687193, 687196, 687257, 687271, 687280, 687295, 687297, 687303, 687327, 687342, 687345, 687346, 687375, 687397, 687414, 687475, 687492, 687514, 687520, 687531, 687536, 687559, 687561, 687593, 687595, 687608, 687630, 687650, 687666, 687674, 687677, 687695, 687697, 687702, 687715, 687721, 687728, 687729, 687731, 687775, 687780, 687782, 687793, 687796, 687805, 687814, 687844, 687850, 687887, 687903, 687904, 687907, 687915, 687931, 687950, 687957, 687970, 687974, 687981, 687983, 687988, 688006, 688007, 688022, 688024, 688026, 688032, 688035, 688036, 688042, 688058, 688061, 688064, 688066, 688075, 688081, 688095, 688129, 688130, 688134, 688151, 688152, 688159, 688166, 688184, 688187, 688200, 688203, 688204, 688207, 688210, 688215, 688227, 688239, 688243, 688267, 688269, 688280, 688282, 688283, 688288, 688312, 688317, 688318, 688320, 688333, 688337, 688342, 688358, 688360, 688361, 688363, 688372, 688375, 688378, 688386, 688387, 688389, 688395, 688413, 688427, 688428, 688429, 688434, 688436, 688437, 688440, 688446, 688448, 688468, 688473, 688474, 688475, 688483, 688490, 688495, 688500, 688515, 688517, 688526, 688528, 688533, 688539, 688540, 688542, 688543, 688557, 688565, 688573, 688580, 688581, 688588, 688598, 688601, 688604, 688605, 688610, 688616, 688617, 688619, 688626, 688627, 688633, 688634, 688636, 688637, 688638, 688643, 688646, 688647, 688651, 688653, 688655, 688673, 688674, 688683, 688696, 688697, 688699, 688708, 688709, 688710, 688711, 688714, 688717, 688728, 688731, 688734, 688736, 688739, 688757, 688762, 688770, 688774, 688777, 688778, 688783, 688796, 688797, 688806, 688807, 688811, 688813, 688815, 688818, 688829, 688830, 688834, 688843, 688845, 688846, 688871, 688872, 688876, 688899, 688903, 688904, 688907, 688908, 688909, 688914, 688915, 688916, 688917, 688918, 688919, 688923, 688926, 688928, 688933, 688940, 688942, 688943, 688945, 688949, 688952, 688958, 688969, 688970, 688976, 688978, 688979, 688981, 688983, 688986, 688990, 688992, 688994, 688999, 689003, 689011, 689013, 689014, 689022, 689025, 689028, 689031, 689032, 689036, 689040, 689044, 689046, 689048, 689050, 689053, 689055, 689057, 689058, 689060, 689065, 689068, 689070, 689076, 689077, 689078, 689080, 689081, 689085, 689090, 689092, 689093, 689094, 689098, 689101, 689103, 689104, 689106, 689107, 689111, 689114, 689115, 689116, 689117, 689127, 689128, 689129, 689130, 689132, 689133, 689136, 689137, 689138, 689145, 689146, 689148, 689150, 689153, 689154, 689155, 689159, 689161, 689164, 689167, 689169, 689172, 689174, 689175, 689181, 689182, 689184, 689186, 689188, 689195, 689198, 689199, 689206, 689209, 689210, 689212, 689222, 689224, 689230, 689232, 689236, 689241, 689242, 689244, 689246, 689247, 689248, 689249, 689252, 689253, 689256, 689264, 689265, 689266, 689267, 689273, 689278, 689279, 689280, 689281, 689282, 689283, 689289, 689290, 689291, 689292, 689294, 689295, 689298, 689302, 689304, 689305, 689306, 689308, 689310, 689313, 689316, 689326, 689327, 689331, 689333, 689334, 689335, 689338, 689339, 689340, 689341, 689343, 689347, 689349, 689350, 689351, 689352, 689353, 689354, 689356, 689358, 689359, 689361, 689362, 689363, 689364, 689365, 689367, 689368, 689369, 689370, 689372, 689373, 689374, 689375, 689376, 689378, 689379, 689380, 689381, 689382, 689384, 689385, 689386.

Incompatible changes

The default device on unix-oriented builds has temporarily switched to the bbox device, and is not the x11 device as in the past. The means that running gs from the commandline with no options will no longer display a file. Specify -sDEVICE=x11alpha instead. The change is a side effect of the X11 modularization patch, and will be remedied in a future release.

2007-08-01T21:20:57.253476Z Ray Johnston

Fix problem seen with stcolor device where the get_color_mapping_procs
device proc was NULL, causing SEGV. Bug #689371.

DETAILS:

The fix was local to gdevstc.c. The other modules were changed to
add protection in case other devices (such as all of the new devices
in contrib) don't manage to change the get_color_mapping_procs from
the usual default of NULL in the device structure. Rather than
dprintf or error messages that may be supressed with #if DEBUG.
I elected to use eprintf.

Note that the get_color_mapping_procs is usually set up by gdevdflt
gx_device_fill_in_procs, but there are several cases where we don't
know what to do, so we set the gx_error_get_color_mapping_procs.

The detection in gs_fillpage will usually result in a single error
message then we return gs_error_Fatal (-100).

Fix for gv hang, where an application sends (less than 1023 bytes)
PostScript and expects a response. AppleTalk PAP and some other
interactive viewer front ends may run into this. Bug #689237.

DETAILS:

The autosense is still sort of fragile in that we only process
PostScript immediately without waiting for the .peekstring of
1023 bytes to complete if it begins with "%!" or "%%". The
check for "%%" is needed for gv, conventionally "%!" is more
widely used. Note this really only affects applications using
gs as a process getting data from stdin and expecting immediate
action (response or other processing).

Also note that the %! or %% is only looked for as the first
two characters so that the presence of this in garbage before
an actual PDF won't cause confusion.

2007-07-27T20:14:35.951213Z Ray Johnston

Apply a long pending patch that only affects an ancient 'alphaimage'
operator (Next display PostScript extension). Bug #592160.

DETAILS:

The bug report didn't include a test file, but reading the spec on
this operator found at:

http://objc.toodarkpark.net/AppKit/Functions/PSOperators.html

it seems that the number of components provided does not account
for the alpha channel. The relevant excerpt is:

Synopsis: pixelswide pixelshigh bits/sample matrix datasrc0 [...datasrcn] multiproc ncolors alphaimage -

Renders an image whose samples include an alpha component. This
operator is similar to the standard colorimage operator. However,
note the following:

    * When supplying the data components, alpha is always given
      last-either as the last data source (datasrcn) if the data
      is given in separate vectors, or as the last element in a
      set of interleaved data.

    * The ncolors operand doesn't account for alpha -- the
      value of ncolors is the number of color components only.

This final note is the justification for the patch.

Revert patch for rev 7904 which caused regressions (bug 689215).
The fix for this will be committed in a following patch that
fixes 688543 and 689364. Fixes bug 689215.

DETAILS:

The root of the problem is that the filled/stroked areas are
too large (from the fill_adjust value). Unfortunately changing
this to fix these problems causes MANY differences that need
to be examined. Initial examination shows many PROGRESSIONS,
i.e., we are closer to Adobe and from 200 files examined so
far, has not caused dropout (which is consistent with the
analysis).

Fix (shadings) : Decomposition limit could be too small.

DETAILS :

Bug 689225 "Regression: major differences in 470-01.ps in block 470-03".

This patch improves the tolerance of the shading code to 
a wrong device resolution, which can apparently happen 
when installing a clipper device. Thus is closes a symptom,
but the bottom of the problem is left unfixed.
We do so due to incoming scheduled release.
We opened a separate bug 689365 about a wronmg HWResolution of clipper device.

Banding : Extend clist language with trapezoids, linear color trapezoids and linear color triangles (continued 6).

DETAILS :

This is an initial commit for decomposition of linear color triangles
that the target device can't handle while a clist playback.

The new code is not called with practical cases
because currently we have no devices 
with an intrivial implementation of fill_linear_color_triangle.
We commit this code for future if someone will want
to implement that function in hardware with a smaller number of bits.

To force an execution of the new code
one can change this switch in gxclrast.c :

	if 1 /* Disable to debug gx_fill_triangle_small. */

We debugged the new code with setting this switch to 0.
In this case the decomposition code starts, and calls 
fill_linear_color_triangle again with same arguments
(except converting frac31 colors to 'float', 
rather it doesn't miss precision with comparefiles).
This test works fine with comparefiles.
If the device method would request a further decomposition,
an earlier debugged code works, so we didn't test it now
(Testing it with available implementations would require an additional effort
for rejecting regular triangles by the target device).

For more details see comments in code.

Note the clist playback now calls gxshade6.c .

Banding : Extend clist language with trapezoids, linear color trapezoids and linear color triangles (continued 4).

DETAILS :

Provide a better compression when writing frac31 values to clist.
The new method is based on fact that fractional color values have many zeros in lower bits.

Banding : Extend clist language with trapezoids, linear color trapezoids and linear color triangles (continued 3).

DETAILS :

1. Use fa->clip for a better Y-range for computing which bands are covered with fill_linear_color_triangle.

2. Provide a right raster op for linear color methods. Currently this change isn't
important because shadings don't use untrivial raster ops.

Banding : Exten\d clist language with trapezoids, linear color trapezoids and linear color triangles.

DETAILS :

This fixes the clist expansion problem for shadings.

1. New functions clist_fill_linear_color_trapezoid, clist_fill_linear_color_triangle
   provide the writing of shading parts into clist
   without a further decomposition into rectangles.

2. gxclrast.c is enhanced with reading the data from 1.

3. gxfill.c needs a special interaction with the clipper device
   for passing the clipping path as a high level object.
   The new request pattern_manage__handles_clip_path
   checks whether the target device can handle a clipping path.
   The clist writer can, so the graphics library first sends the
   clipping path, and then decomposes the shading into
   trapezoids without installing a clipper device.
   Doing so because clipper device can't handle trapezoids.
   See comments in gxclpath.c, gxfill.c .

4. The clist reader installs a clipper device when processes
   trapezoids and linear color triangles. 
   The new flag clipper_dev_open controls that.

5. A new flag gx_device_clist_writer_s::cropping_by_path 
   controls an additional cropping of shading components,
   which fall outside the shading path's bands.
   See comment in gxclpath.c .

6. R_fill_rect_with_const_color is rewritten with linear color functions,
   because the old implementation creates a rectangle, which is not clipped with
   4,5. It gives an invisible slowdown for unbanded rasters.

There are few things, which need further improvements :

1. A better compression for frac31 values in clist. 
   Such values usually have many zeros in ending bits.

2. Crop bands with ybot, ytop, fa->ystart, fa->yend in
   clist_write_fill_trapezoid.

3. The clist reader must handle cases when linear color functions return 0.
   It must perform a decomposition of areas with calling
   appropriate parts of gxshade6.c . The current code returns error,
   which does not happen in practice.

Fix : Restoring high level objects in clist.

DETAILS :

This patch is a part of the clist expansion problem.
With Henry's test foo4.ps it reduces the clist size in 10+ times.

The clist expansion problem appears to be caused by an old unintentional
change, which was done 3 years ago within the psdcmyk project.
The revision 5056 effectively disabled a big part of the clist language:
all high level objects (text, images, paths) were written to clist 
as lots of rectangles. Undoing it now because it is incorrect.
Note that this patch doesn't undo other parts of 5056 change.

With enabling high level objects the psdcmyk device becomes broken.
At least it has problems with text when rendering foo4.ps .
We'll open a separate bug about that. 

Rather this fix is a progression, it causes some regressions with
band devices due to other unknown problems.
There are single pixel differences with comparefiles,
which are not visible to users, but they are important
for regression testing. Since the clist size
is a highly important problem now, we commit this fix, 
and open a new bug about raster differences.

Fix : A wrong path filling.

DETAILS :

Bug 689317 "A wrong rendering of a path".

gx_path_merge_contacting_contours didn't account implicit closepath
with non-zero length. Due to that the filling algorithm could
recieve a path with a missed segment. It caused some areas
are missed while filling.

This fix is important for restoring high level clist objects,
which were disabled with rev 5056 change to gdevprn.c .

This fix inserts a line segments at the place of implicit closepath
before merging contours.

Minor change : improving documentation about
gx_path_merge_contacting_contours.

Compare the type of the object cached in the font descriptot with the expected
type and ignore the cache when the types mismatch. The same descriptor can
refer to Font and CIDFont resources if they happen to have the same name and
are not embedded. Bug 689301, customer 870.

DETAILS:
tx_pdf 12.0.112.500 created quite strange PDF file. The file refers to
Palatino font and Palatino CIDFont through the same font descriptor.
Both the font and CIDFont versions are not embedded. There's no rule in PDF
against merging equal objects from unrelated contexts.

Old code cached the font or CIDFont file in the font descriptor.
Re-using the font descriptor for a different type of the object caused the
wrong object to be retrieved from the cache. In turn, this causes /undefined
error later on.

The patch compares the type of the cached object with the expected type
and ignores the cache when the types mismatch. In our case this results in
an attempt to find Palatino CIDFont resource. Since this resource is not
available, the CMap name is used as a default CIDFont resource name for
the given CMap. In this case, /Adobe-Japan1 /CIDFont resource is searched.
When this resource is available, the file finishes normally. Otherwise the
file fails with /undefinedresource in findresource.

Temporarily disable the band complexity code and use the existing
"color used" code to detect non trivial raster operations.

DETAILS:

The band complexity code is to be removed entirely.  It is not correct
and (apparently) the person who implemented it did not realize there
was code in the system to accomplish the same task.  For now we fill
in the band complexity array with (correct) values from
gdev_prn_colors_used().  We are not removing all of the band
complexity now because there are other banding projects in the works.

Fix optimization for 0 and 0xff (non-dithered) colors in the wtsimdi_copy_mono
routine. Also add a (temporary) change to force color==0 to cmyk=0x000000ff
(only 100% black). This would be done differently if the input color were
tagged RGB where presumably text objects would map. This is a reasonable
temporary approach since copy_mono is used for bitmapped text.

Also remove the "SKIP_OUTPUT" compile time #define and add "output_is_nul"
detection of the OutputFile name being nul: or /dev/null to make it easier
to go back and forth between timing runs (to /dev/null) and runs where we
want to look at the output.

DETAILS:

Both the copy_mono optimizations and the mapping of color 0 can be disabled
by removing (or commenting) the #defines above wtsimdi_copy_mono. These are
on by default.
