I tried it (directly patching ps files), and seems working with article9.ps. Nice to have it on SL10.0b2. Takashi [2. application/octet-stream; gs850-vfont-patch]...

I can confirm that the patch works.
Fixed packages submitted to STABLE, fix should show up in the next beta version of SuSE Linux 10.0. Closing as FIXED.

The topic was reported on suse-linux-ja ML. The original patch was taken from http://www.gssm.otsuka.tsukuba.ac.jp/staff/ohki/gs851-patch-mine for GS 8.51 and I modified and clean up it to adapt to our gs package. The patch replaces the old gs850-vfont-patch. article9.ps and vchar*.ps are shown correctly, at least. Please review and test for inclusion to our package. (Maybe there will be a bugreport later, as I asked on suse-linux-ja ML.) Takashi [2. application/octet-stream; gs851-patch-mine-fixed.diff]...
