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.
