Comment (by wilya7):
I am using emacs org-mode for a project and I have to use a lot of Latex.
With this bug it is impossible to do a preview of latex code as it uses
**convert** utility, which with ghostscript 2.27 fails due to this bug.
Therefore I had to downgrade to ghostscript 2.26. Now that I did that,
everything works! I followed the procedure outlined here:
[https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/InstallingOlderPort]
Briefly, this what I did (for other noobs like me):
{{{
cd
mkdir git
cd git
git clone --single-branch https://github.com/macports/macports-ports.git
cd macports-ports
git checkout b79b19f8fe80d5e804eee9c62fd73a2ac980f82a
cd print/ghostscript
port install
}}}
I hope that ghostscript developers manage to track down this bug. I cannot
understand how this does not affects more people!
