[OS X TeX] Pdftricks problem

[Aaron Jackson]

OK, I didn't zoom into the pdf the first time, but now I notice what 
you are talking about, the bottom part of the three is clipped.  I seem 
to remember that pdftricks used to work, but I ran my old files and 
they do not work now.  I would guess that the ghostscript upgrade is 
causing the problem...
