[BUG] PostScript saving (Locale issue: 961568)
Ok, I think this issue has been discussed before in this list/newsgroup, but I couldn't find any report in the bugtracker.
The locale issue with file saving was fixed for the SVG-format, but remains for PostScript.
If the locales (LC_...) are set to a language which use comma-sign (',') as decimal-separator, the PostScript file will use them as such. This is wrong -- it shouldn't be localized, but fixed set to dot ('.').
Therefor, setting LC_ALL=C solves the issue temporary.
I've added this to the bugtracker, item 961568.
Tried version: snapshot 20040526

excuse my poor english..
Thanks for bug report, and for putting it in the SF tracker.

Yes, of course!
This is a testfile consisting of a single blue square. The selected output format is EPS. My locale variables are set to sv_SE.

Ghost Script will complain about the first comma, and won't render. If i manually change all the commas to dots, it works just fine.
I've also added this file in the tracker with the name testcase.eps
Thanx for looking in to this! I have never seen developers of any other software project reply so fast to bug reports and feature request.. :)

I've put a fix in CVS for this. It seems to work correctly, but it's a pretty drastic change. If people could test other "fancy" printing things, that would be good.
Also, I think as a side-effect from the image-in-a-rect work going on, the PS output no longer seems to include images; but that doesn't seem to be from my changes, I don't think.
