Using the code I sent earlier, just creating text in a graphics window, I can either print to hard copy using cgControl or I can Save ->PDF file in the CG window. Either way, I get the white lines on the updated computer. It is running the configuration I posted in the OP.
On the other computer, which is running ImageMagick 6.8.0-7 2013-03-19 and Ghostscript 9.0, I get no white lines.
I'm not sure what happens if I go through and do a .ps and then convert via ImageMagick - was hoping to have all my code do what it always did: output plots to hard copy automatically.
Anyway, I'll try downgrading to earlier versions of IM and GS via macports and see if that fixes everything. Thanks!
