Evince does not render Postscript files

Created attachment 240851 [details] Simple example that I cannot render Evince 3.6.1 Ubuntu 13.04 Evince is not able to render PostScript files. I attach a simple file created with LaTeX and Dvips. When I try to open it with evince, it shows the miniature in the left sidebar, but nothing is shown and the pages are shown just as numbers. The main window is blank, and a message is shown "Loading..." and nothing happens. In the terminal I get the following: undefined -21 undefined -21 (evince:23507): EvinceDocument-CRITICAL **: ev_document_misc_pixbuf_from_surface: assertion `surface' failed (evince:23507): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed undefined -21 (evince:23507): EvinceDocument-CRITICAL **: ev_document_misc_pixbuf_from_surface: assertion `surface' failed (evince:23507): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed undefined -21 I attach a backtrace.

This might be a problem in ubuntu version of evince. The ps file renders fine in my machine, which version of libspectre do you have?
The version of libspectre1 is 0.2.7-2
It might a bug in ghostscript 9.07, see: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61506
I agree with Carlos, I changed the language of my system to English and now evince is working. According to the bug mentiones in comment 4, it seems that the problem is the decimal separator in some languages being equal to "," instead of "."
so closing as NOTGNOME as per comment 4 and 5. Thanks
