Comment 2 for bug 998087

I can't answer that.

I can say that Ghostscript's ps2write output is valid Level 2 Postscript - in other words, it is compliant with the language defined in the Adobe Postscript Language Reference Manual Edition 2. And not especially challenging Postscript, either.

Let me ask this: if gcc fails to compile C code that is demonstrably compliant with the C89 spec (for example), is that the fault of the coder who wrote the failing code, or a bug in gcc?

None of the issues that have arisen so far have highlighted any problem with our Postscript output.

And did poppler's output always "just work", or did they go through similar issues, possibly over a longer period?
