• EPS Library
• The original PostScript export library does a fairly good job exporting vector images and Text. It completely fails, however, on images with more than 16 colors and has several bugs that show up oin more complex tasks (dottet lines, fill patterns, shading, changed character spacing etc.). The updated EPS library for GEOS 3.x and up fixes most of them, including true color image support.

Besides printing on PostScript printers, PostScript allows Export of GEOS documents into the Windows world. There, PostScript files can be printed using up-to-date printer drivers (useful for color prints) or converted to PDF files for document exchange. For both jobs, printing and PDF conversion, the Windos freeware GhostScript does a good job. The updated EPS library comes with an updated printer list which includes special drivers for the GhostScript PS interpreter.
There is no trial version available. Instead, the links below point to several demo files in GEOS, PostScript and PDF format for your own comparison between your original PostScript export and the results with the new EPS library.
• BugsDeal Office (1.4 MB)

an open letter written to Clive Smith, CEO of NewDeal Inc., showing up a lot of bugs. The original Writer file shows the original as well as a screenshoot of the printout from the original library. The PostScript file shows the actual printout of the updated EPS library. Some things (like the FontMorphing bug) are entirely screenshots and therefore do not reflect any improvements as there is no 'original' data.
