IM 6.6.7-1 not working correctly on PowerPC G5

Hi all,

I'm trying to use IM to convert a PDF to a JPG but I'm getting a very strange conversion on a mac G5 PowerPC.

I have a mac intel machine running OS 10.5.8, IM version 6.6.7-1 and GS version 9.00 and the conversion looks fine.
The other machine is mac G5 PowerPC running 10.5.8 IM version 6.6.7-1 and GS version 9.00 and the conversion looks very odd.

One area of the PDF that I'm converting has a red circle with white text on it and the conversion from the G5 turns the white text pink, almost like an overprint effect. The same sort of thing is happening to black text on top of a yellow background, the black text turns brown. I have checked the PDF and the white text is set to knockout and so I can't understand why the conversion on the G5 is so different.

If anybody has any suggestions please let me know.

Many thanks,
Nik
