"Error processing postscript file" Equations in 7.1

Post by rob hollinger »

Summary:
Flare 7.1 only
Building PDF output and equations are missing.
Build error: Error processing postscript file

Cause:
GhostScript 9.0 had limited font support. Fonts like serif, constantia, Georgia, and others can cause the error.

Solution:
Upgrage to GhostScript 9.2. 9.2 has expanded font support and Flare 7.1 will take advantage of it.
Uninstall GhostScript 9.0.
Install GhostScript from here:

I'm seeing this today with Flare 9.1.1 and GhostScript 9.0

I've just upgraded GhostScript to 9.2 and all is well.

Thanks!

I got this error with Flare V10.2.2 and Ghostscript 9.0. I upgraded to Ghostscript 9.15 and it fixed the problem. Whew!
