Bug in {xdvi/gs/tetex} with eps-files

Hi all,

I am not sure which program/system that is the cause of my problem, but 
I'll try here and maybe someone can direct me to a more appropriate list 
if this email is misplaced.

I am using a recent beta of teTeX (20040711) on a Solaris workstation. 
This has worked just fine, but recently we upgraded ghostscript to AFPL 
ghostscript 8.14 from 7.03 and this caused a problem with xdvi and 
included eps-files. I have attached a screenshot of xdvi that shows the 
problem. The eps-files are generated using Matlab, but the same font 
problem appear also in e.g. xfig-generated eps-files. If I revert to 
gs7.03, everything works as expected and the eps-files displays just 
fine. In gv, the figures display correct using both gs 7.03 and 8.14.

Some system data that may be useful (I see now that the same problem 
appear on my linux system at home (Fedora Core 2)):

% xdvi --version
xdvik version 22.84.2 (Xaw toolkit)
Libraries: kpathsea version 3.5.3, T1lib version 5.0.1
% gs -version
AFPL Ghostscript 8.14 (2004-02-20)

% uname -a
SunOS [mymachine] 5.9 Generic_117171-02 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-100 
Solaris

Anyone got a clue on the source of this behavior?

	/Erik
