I received details to the last bug report by mail.

Who can reproduce the bug?

Thanks for your reply.  Here's the info you requested:

        $ mpage -V
        mpage version 2.5.4 May 2004
        
        I am attaching various files giving some more information about
        the situation:
        
        mpage-rpm: rpm -qil mpage > mpage-rpm (I am running Fedora Core
        5)
        foo.ps: cat /dev/null | mpage > foo.ps
        gs.log: gs -sDEVICE=x11 foo.ps >& gs.log
        gv.log: the error box that gv displays when applied to foo.ps
        with
                standard default options
        gv-noplatfonts: the same, except that the argument -dNOPLATFONTS
        has
                been removed from the arguments in State->Ghostscript
                Options
                
The problem seems to come from these lines in foo.ps, which are
explicitly included from the source mpage.c :

        /kanj /Ryumin-Light-H findfont 11 scalefont def
        /han /Ryumin-Light.Hankaku findfont 11 scalefont def
        /unijis /Ryumin-Light-UniJIS-UTF8-H findfont 11 scalefont def
        /uniks /Baekmuk-Batang-UniKS-UTF8-H findfont 11 scalefont def
        /unigb /BousungEG-Light-GB-UniGB-UTF8-H findfont 11 scalefont
        def
        /unicns /ShanHeiSun-Light-UniCNS-UTF8-H findfont 11 scalefont
        def

Some of these fonts are not included on my system.  I could, of course
get a cure from the problem by recompiling mpage without these lines of
the source, but I would rather know what is going on.
