Thanks for your answer.

I made a try, but it is not so easy.
I installed Ghostscript, but when done, gv did not want to work any more.
I tried to install a new version of gv by Hand, but I finished with "make -i".
Before I could open the pdf file, but the display was terrific (random spaces 
and mixed letters)

I updated CUPS, but I still have the bug.

I updated XPDF, but it has an horrible display (not 2 letters on the same 
line) and has the same bug.

Other rideas ?
