Hi Vincent,

Hi Paul

It might help to know which operating system you are using.

i am using mac os X Leopard X.5.5

As far as I know, Texmacs uses Ghostscript, the postscript interpreter commonly used on Unix/Linux systems, to convert between PDF/postscript and other formats. The version of postscript interpreter installed on your system might be the reason for your problem. Using your document DS3.tm as a test, Debian 4.0 works very well for me whereas Ubuntu 8.04 fails miserably and won't even display the graphics correctly on screen.


i make a search on the hard drive looking for "ghostscript"
i find this (screen capture):


in the "ghostscript.info" i find this:
Package: ghostscript
Version: 8.54
Revision: 3

i dont know if it helps


In Debian, I installed the following packages from the official repository:
[...]

well i am a bit lost in your text, i am to much beginner

if i can make any tests for you on my mac os X, to help  finding troubles, i will make it with pleasure

I would like to find a good choice of operating system and packages to recommend to other people who are interested in doing maths with free software,

yes it would be very interesting to have a stable texmacs version that would be -very simple- to install, on any platform

I will try installing Debian on a USB flash memory. Hope to have some success to report soon!

yes, i dont knows if there are any links with the work of Marc

being able to use texmacs from a usb key would be -fantastic-



Regards,

Paul.

ok
i am sorry if i did not undersatnd everything
now, can anyone remember me the name of the "external software" that may cause me problems

i usually export geogebra images to pdf format
then i insert them in my texmacs files
then i export these files to pdf format

in these 3 operations, what are the names of the software that are working ?
i suppose that i can find a new version of them, and so resolve the problem

ok so i do not understand
maybe some versions have a good pdf export and other not ?

Postscript exports of images and pdf exports depend on
external software available on your system for conversions of
images to postscript and postscript to pdf. If the external
software performs poorly, then the exports may be wrong.

Best wishes, Joris
