I know nothing about libgs.  Ironically, now that the school year has
started, I will probably have more free time, so I can take a look at it.
No promises, though.  Given that krita, inkscape, and okular (according to
apt-cache rdepends) use Poppler, it may be wiser to improve Poppler
instead.  I  am thouroughly unfamiliar with the Poppler codebase though, so
I have no idea how difficult it would be to do so.
