Hi,
I've recently updated GS8 to version 8.13. Now when I try to convert an 
old file to pdf I get the following error message:

same error when I try to view it with gv. It seems it is a font related 
problem, but I'm not very skilled with gs fonts. Anyway I'm sure that I 
was able to view it with the previous gs8 version. Any suggestion in 
order to fix this problem? I really need that file!!

Thanks in advance,
	Andrea.
