           Summary: Don't use '\' character in PostScript names
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: poppler-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: ajohnson at redneon.com


The attached PDF file after conversion to PS using pdftops fails to print on a
LaserJet 4050. The printer error message is:

ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: \

The problem is the use of the '\' character in PostScript names. The Type 3
font contains a definition for each ASCII character with the name '/x' where
'x' is the ASCII character. Printing fails to the '/\' name for the backslash
character. The backslash should be escaped.
