NEW BUGS
--------

#687775 - INTERNAL - relative paths in cidfmap
submitted by: igor
assigned: igor

When specifying a CID font emulation with a True Type file in
lib/cidfmap, a relative file path would be comfortable. Currently we
require an absolute path.

#687776 - USER - CJK fonts don't work with -dSAFER
assign: igor?

The example from bug #687766 works with
  gswin32c mincho.ps
but fails with
  gswin32c -dSAFER mincho.ps
I discovered this when CJK fonts worked from the GS command line, but
failed from within GSview (which set SAFER).

#687777 - USER - %%Creator: not included in PDF
assigned: igor

The pdfwrite device is not propagating the Creator and Title (and
possibly other) DSC tags from the postscript file to the output PDF.

#687778 - USER - LaserJet IIP (ljet2p) margins
assign: raph?

User reports that the margins are off when printing with the ljet2p
driver.

#687779 - USER - PDF writing with versions above 8.14 fail with most 
		 printer drivers

User claims that pdfwrite fails on files produced by FreePDF with GS
8.15 but worked with GS 8.14.  Dan noticed that there is a ^D in the
files.

#687780 - INTERNAL - optimize nobbox_draw
submitted by: igor
assigned: igor

Igor proposes changing nobbox_draw to use a single pass after setting
up the cache device, which will simplify the code.

#687781 - USER - /typecheck in --cvr--
assign: ray?

User would like us to work around headers such as %PDF-1.2a, which
currently fail.  Adobe Reader displays these files fine.

#687782 - USER - mswinpr2 driver ignores request to change page size
assign: ray?

The user noticed that the mswinpr2 drivers performs the logic to
choose a matching paper size and correctly calculate margins only at
the beginning.  This causes his file, which changes these values for
individual pages, to print incorrectly.

#687783 - USER - PDF created using GS 8.15 (and earlier) displays
		 poorly in OS X Preview

Waiting for test file.
