These both look good to be to go into 8.14. Please commit them to the GS_8_1X branch.

Also, could you please prepare a cleaned up version of 
http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2003-December/003927.html

I understand this is the fix in head for the -dTextAlphaBits=4 assert failure that is the 
motivation for the 8.14 release. However, the commented out 'if' clause is not up to our usual 
standards for stable release code. I'd really appreciate it if you'd take the time to trace 
through this and see why the path behavior is not set as you expect.

Thanks,
