Hi,

(I'm not sure it is the right place for the current report. Sorry if
that's not the case and then please advise where to report.)

Consider the following simple `test.tex` source file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Foo.
\end{document}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Compiled with both (up to date) `pdflatex`, `xelatex` or `lualatex`, the
resulting `test.pdf` is okay. But, if it is compiled with `lualatex` (only) and
if the resulting PDF is subject to:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
gs -P- -dSAFER -q -P- -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sstdout=%stderr "-sOutputFile=test.pdf.pdf" -P- -dSAFER test.pdf
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

(coming from `ps2pdf` and subsequent scripts) then, with `gs` (version
10.04.0), the “Foo.” text in `test.pdf.pdf`, if copied and pasted,
returns:

6QQX

Quite strange, isn't it?

Best regards.
