[tex-live] dvips from texlive2012 messes up with postscript figure

Hi,

I have a problem with dvips processing a dvi file generated with latex and
including a postscript figure.

When I use dvips from texlive-2012, the figure in the output postscript
file misses part of the axis labels and labels inside the plot. However, if
I use instead dvips from texlive-2011 all is well.

I attach here the two output postscript files, example-texlive2011.ps (the
good), example-texlive2012.ps (the bad),  the original figure
plot_dY_SpT_zmh.ps  and the dvi file example.dvi.

The commands I run are:

/usr/pkg/texlive/2012/bin/x86_64-linux/dvips example -o
mv example.ps example-texlive2012.ps
/usr/pkg/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux/dvips example -o
mv example.ps example-texlive2011.ps

I can't understand why the output of the latest dvips is this weird.

Both texlive versions were installed using the "./install-tl --gui=text"
method in a Fedora 17 Linux box.

Thanks for your help,

Nicola Caon
