Subject: Preview LaTeX doesn't work when a theme is loaded
Date: Sat, 1 Jun 2019 17:04:51 +0200 (CEST)

Preview LaTeX works fine when no theme is loaded.
On vanilla Emacs 26.2 with only AucTeX installed, it works, but as soon as I load any theme (via customize, the default themes that come with emacs), any preview-latex command (e.g. C-c C-p C-b) I try won't show a LaTeX image in place of a math mode region.
I get the no entrance sign icons, and when I click on it with Mouse-3, I get the following.

The LaTeX compilation initialized by the preview command doesn't show any errors.g
I tried it on a friend's machine and I was able to reproduce the same behaviour.

Which version of Ghostscript are you using?  You can check with

  rungs -help

It's known that Ghostscript 9.27 causes trouble.  For the time being,
until AUCTeX is adapted, it's best to revert to version 9.26.

Regards,
  Reinhard

Another workaround that I use is to set
preview-reference-face
explicitly.

I customized it to be foreground: black and everything is working now
even with a the new gs 2.27


Best,

Gennady

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Just in case, if people feel confused as I did the variable isn't in
customize-variable,

The procedure is to use
1) M-x customize-face
2) enter preview reference
3) change the attribute of the foreground

Dear the bug reporters,

I just committed a "fix" for preview-latex in the git repository of
AUCTeX.  You can try it out at git://git.savannah.gnu.org/auctex.git .

Unfortunately, the latest development version offers only partial
solution if you are using gs 9.27.  Please read on for detail.

1. When you use gs 9.28 or later after gs 9.28 is released, customize
   `preview-pdf-color-adjust-method' to t.
   This includes the case that your (Linux or *BSD) binary package
   manager distributes gs 9.27 with necessary patches.
2. When you use gs 9.26 or before, customize
   `preview-pdf-color-adjust-method' to `compatible'.
3. When you use gs 9.27 and it doesn't have the necessary patches
   applied,
3-1. if you don't customize the foreground color of Emacs, customize
     `preview-pdf-color-adjust-method' to `compatible'.
3-2. if you customize the foreground color of Emacs and the background
     is light (i.e. not dark), customize
     `preview-pdf-color-adjust-method' to `compatible' and
     `preview-reference-face' to have default (black) foreground color.
3-3. if you customize the foreground color of Emacs and the background
     is dark, customize `preview-pdf-color-adjust-method' to nil.  This
     forces plain "black on white" appearance for the generated image.
     You can at least read what are written in the image although they
     may not match with your Emacs color well.

Best regards,
Ikumi Keita
