[Pedro Carneiro]

Is it me or the issue reported in
https://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2018-September/042279.html is
happening again? This time with Ghostscript 9.25.

Dear Pedro,

Is it me or the issue reported in
https://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2018-September/042279.html is
happening again? This time with Ghostscript 9.25.

Here I obtain successfully test.pdf in the TeX Live 2018, by

asy test.asy

settings.tex = "pdflatex";
unitsize(1cm);
draw((0,0)--(2,0));
label("$x$", (0,0), align=W);

See an attached asytest.zip.

So, it seems that there is a problem with my system (TeX Live 2018 in
windows 10).

Doing asy test.asy in

settings.tex = "pdflatex";
unitsize(1cm);
draw((0,0)--(2,0));
label("$x$", (0,0), align=W);

I get the same messages mentioned in
https://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2018-September/042279.html.

asy --version

Prince]

Is there anything I could do to provide more information to help solving
this problem? I would be very appreciated.

I may add that at the first time this ocurred, I restored the package
tlgs.win32 from backup and did it again the second time.

Important:

It is possible to use 32bit gsview-5.0 as a default pdf viewer
in asymptote with the bundled 32bit ghostscript DLL.

If you are using 32bit gsview-5.0 as a default pdf viewer,
Uncheck "Options ---> Safer" and write -dSAFER
in "Options ---> Advanced Configure... ---> Ghostscript Options"
instead.

It seems that "Options ---> Safer" in gsview-5.0 does not support
external iccprofiles directory in 9.25, since gsview-5.0 is very old.

Best,
Akira
