[tex-k] Possible bug in dvips?

Totally bizarre bug!

====================

On texlive 2017, Windows 10. Compile the attached .tex via dvi -> ps -> pdf with the following options:

dvips.exe -Ppdf -G0 -tletter -o %.ps %.dvi

ps2pdf.exe -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -dSubsetFonts=true -dEmbedAllFonts=true -dMaxSubsetPct=100 -dCompatibilityLevel=1.3 %.ps

====================
What you expect to see:

The "Q" character in the X axis label of the figure should be visible in the output .pdf (we should get visible.pdf).

====================
What happens instead:
The "Q" character in the X axis label of the figure is missing (we get "not visible.pdf").

====================
Possible workarounds:


  1.  Adding -j0 to the dvips options fixes this problem
  2.  Removing the \author line from the .tex fixes this problem.
