Translate the .ps to PDF with ps2pdf and go get Acrobat Reader from
adobe.com. This will tell you for sure if its the PostScript or your
display. acroread can handle anything I've ever thrown at it when gs and
the like could not.

As another test, print the PDF to a PS file and view it that way... see
if the display the same. Sometimes, they do not. This might be the
problem. PostScript that prints perfectly is not necessarily correct.
