4.71. ghostscript

Updated ghostscript packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The Ghostscript suite provides a PostScript interpreter, a set of C procedures (the Ghostscript library, which implements the graphics capabilities in the PostScript language), and an interpreter for PDF files. Ghostscript translates PostScript code into many common, bitmapped formats, like those understood by most printers and displays. This enables users to display PostScript files and print them on non-PostScript printers.

Bug Fix

BZ#710651
Previously, the default paper size was selected in portrait orientation when printing documents in landscape orientation. Consequently, the output was printed in portrait orientation and the content was cropped on the right side. With this update, if the paper size matches in landscape mode, that paper size is selected and the landscape orientation is selected for printing.
All users of ghostscript are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
