It has been years since I used dvips, so I don't remember how to correct that. Basically, the "bug" is with the following file:
\starttext \startTEXpage What will happen now \stopTEXpage \stoptext
Process using "mtxrun --script test --dvips" and then "ps2pdf" and the resulting pdf file has the wrong bounding box.
The file processes correctly (but in landscape orientation) when using pstopdf, so it is just a bug of ps2pdf. The header of the ps file is: %!PS-Adobe-2.0 %%Creator: dvips(k) 5.993 Copyright 2013 Radical Eye Software %%Title: test.dvi %%CreationDate: Mon Nov 25 18:43:15 2013 %%Pages: 1 %%PageOrder: Ascend %%Orientation: Landscape %%BoundingBox: 0 0 15 117 %%DocumentFonts: LMRoman12-Regular %%EndComments %DVIPSWebPage: (www.radicaleye.com) %DVIPSCommandLine: dvips -u +original-base -u +original-ams-base -u %+ +original-public-lm -u +lm-ec -u +lm-math -u +lm-rm -u %+ +original-ams-euler test %DVIPSParameters: dpi=600 %DVIPSSource: TeX output 2013.11.25:1843 %%BeginProcSet: tex.pro 0 0 %! Why is dvips adding Orientation: Landscape in the header?
