[magick-developers] Xpdf instead of Ghostscript

Yes, I've tried 8.6 and still see the rendering problem. The problem 
is with Form fields that have newlines in the text. Xpdf and Acrobat 
will put in a newline, whereas Ghostscript does not. Also Ghostscript 
doesn't see to know how to deal with Helvetica-Bold as a font in a 
form (but not really their fault since the pdf says its HeBo, which I 
can't find a reasonable explanation for in the PDF spec.)

I may look at what I can do.
