I also would like to congratulate the editor and contributors on R-News.

That''s been updated to v.6.0 whereas stock RH6.2 is 5.50. Xpdf reads it fine and printing it to a file from there also yield something readable with gv, as does running pdftops on it.

We have put a postscript file (from dvips) on the web page, this version is viewable with ghostscript and hence gv (at least on our systems where we observe the same problems as described below).
