The attached PDF and EPS files are a rendering as a grayscale bitmap
(plus some text) of a 10x10 matrix.  Each bit in the matrix is intended
to produce a gray square with crisp edges; this is how ghostscript renders
it, and how every printer I've tried renders the original EPS file.

evince, however, applies some kind of smoothing operation to the scaled
bitmap, rendering it completely illegible.  It does this to both the PDF
and the EPS versions.

This appears to be intentional - at least, I see that when evince invokes
gs to render the EPS file, it is deliberately passing -dDOINTERPOLATE, which
produces this behavior if I run gs by hand - but I beileve it to be wrong,
because it is inconsistent with the behavior of printers and the behavior
of other PostScript/PDF renderers.
