But shouldn't the postscript import take the encapsulated file directly? If
you convert to jpeg, then you are not testing SO/OO postscript import. You
are testing ghostscript's postscript parsing and SO/OO's jpeg import. Of
course, SO/OO surely call ghostscript anyway. But, do they do so correctly?
Is jpeg the format SO/OO use to store their imported postscript?
