Title:
  evince, openoffice and scribus incorrectly render certain eps images

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  1) I am using Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS with all the updates.

  2) Some other software versions that may be relevant:

  ghostscript 8.71.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5.3
  evince 2.30.3-0ubuntu1.2
  gimp 2.6.8-2ubuntu1.3

  3 & 4) I have found that evince, openoffice and scribus incorrectly
  render or print to PDF certain EPS images (I have noticed this
  specifically with matlab figures), with certain straight lines being
  turned into strange dashed things.  The eps figures are correctly
  rendered by gimp and appear correctly when transformed to PDF using
  ps2pdf, so the images themselves appear to be correct, but the
  underlying renderer used by some Ubuntu software (e.g., ghostscript
  perhaps?) appears to be incorrectly interpreting certain PS element.
  This is a real problem when PDFs are generated from scribus, for
  example.
