Dear Akira,

Thanks for your answer. Two things puzzle me here:

- Since gs-9.50, SAFER is set by default according to the gs doc (not the man page, but I think that's an error). So adding -dSAFER shouldn't make a difference.

- To be sure, I added -dSAFER to dvipdfmx.cfg. That doesn't change a thing, I still get the same output as Herb. So things seem to work differently on Windows and on the Mac.

Using "xdvipdfmx -vvvv TransparencyTest.xdv" (the maximum verbosity level of xdvipdfmx), the only mention of pstricks.pro I get is in

TransparencyTest.xdv -> TransparencyTest.pdf
