          Got the same issue on Linux Mint. It's most likely an issue with ghostscript.



          A system update, including ghostscript. did solve the issue for me.



          Hope this helps.

            Got the same issue on Linux Mint. It's most likely an issue with ghostscript.



            A system update, including ghostscript. did solve the issue for me.



            Hope this helps.
