Description Dag Nygren 2015-02-27 10:16:58 UTC 
Hi!

Using Fedora Core 20, which currently is using pdftocairo 0.24.3 and found that
printing an some email with from kmail will produce invalid GhostScript.

Here an example of an invalid sequence:

/f-1-0 1 Tf
[(C)-16(r)54(o)-31(w)32(n)-9(e)-28( )33(P)-40(l)63(a)42(z)-47(a)41( )33
(<)-20(C)-16(r)54(o)-31(w)32(n)-9(e)-27(P)-40(l)63(a)42(z)-47(a)42(@r)54(e
)-28(s)-50(e)-28(r)54(v)92(a)41(t)35(i)64(o)-31(n)-10(s)-50(.)32(i)64(h)-
9(g)-8(.)32(c)-22(o)-31(m)46(>)]TJ
ET
0.587906 w
2 J

Mark the lone "-" at the end of a line. This will make my printer barf and also ghostview.

Seems like pdftocairo splits lines at a certain length disregarding the splitting points.
