NEW BUGS
--------

#545478 - INTERNAL - The same icon is used for log and image
reported by: alexcher
assigned: ghostgum

Recent gswin32.exe has the same (black) icon for both windows. Earlier 
versions had the black icon for the log but blue icon for the image.
Different icons help to pick the right window faster. 

#546823 - INTERNAL - (FAPI) unimplemented MetricsCount
reported by: igorm
assigned: igorm

MetricsCount (in Type 42, CIDFontType 2) is not implemented in FAPI. Likely 
this requires another patch to Agfa UFST, because it unconditionally reads
hmtx. 

#547102 - CUSTOMER - extra lines appearing in output
customer: #440
assign: rayjj?

The test.ps file when rendered with Ghostscript contains extra horizontal 
and verticle lines in various places. The customer reports this problem has 
existed since 7.00. I've reproduced it with CVS HEAD. 

#547111 - CUSTOMER -  segfault with pdf using ppmraw
customer: #561
assign: rayjj?

Rendering 88880098_00.pdf with the ppmraw device results in a segfault at 
300 dpi, but not at 75 dpi. This segfault doesn't occur with the nullpage 
device or with the X display device, but does occur with other p?mraw 
devices.

#547357 - INTERNAL - Type errors compiling gxclrast.c
submitted by: lpd
assign: giles?

Several "implicit declaration of ____" (where ___ is a gs structure or type) have crept into HEAD.

#547421 - USER - Aliasing problem 
assign: ??

Ghostscript is not using anti-aliasing for displaying the attached file even 
when anti-aliasing is on. First page of the document is computer-generated, 
and the rest is scanned.  Acrobat shows this file with _much_ higher quality
than CVS HEAD ghostscript.  I don't think the document is using fonts 
(acrobat reader shows none), and the only object I see in the document is
an image using the CCITTFaxDecode filter. 

#547695 - INTERNAL - gsave/grestore + colorspace?
reported by: lpd
assign: rayjj?

A sample postscript fragment illustrates a bug:
%!
100 100 translate 100 100 scale
[ /CIEBasedA <<
/RangeA [0 1]
/DecodeA { sqrt }
/WhitePoint [1 1 1]
>> ] setcolorspace
gsave
[ /Pattern currentcolorspace ]
% If the next line is executed,
% the shading is rendered wrong,
% even though we do a grestore first.
setcolorspace
grestore
<<
/ShadingType 3 /ColorSpace currentcolorspace
/Coords [0.2 0.2 0.2 0.7 0.7 0.3]
/Function << /FunctionType 4 /Domain [0 1]
/Function { 0.8 mul 0.1 add }
/Range [0 1]
>>

#547768 - USER - epswrite broken
assign: ??

User reports that when using epswrite, the resulting bounding box is wrong.
