wineps: clipping bug; clipping performance

[Wolfgang Walter]

Hello,

as I wrote clipping in wineps.drv has a bug. Wine does only consider the 
clipping region and not the meta region. It should combine them. This is a 
bug which hurts us with a real windows application.

I sent a patch which which corrects this.

My patch also addressed a general performance problem with all postscript 
printers from Kyocera concerning non trivial clipping regions. Even if you 
use ghostscripts pxlmono/pxlcolor driver the generated PCL XL code may lead 
to errors on our Kyocera and HP printers because the clipping path gets to 
expensive.

I have not received any comment yet.

That's probably because not too many people know much about this. Detlef 
Riekenberg is probably the person who should comment on this, I've CCed him.

Cheers,

Thanks.

Then I'll send him my patch concerning the use of glyphshow, too :-).
