Subject: 12.1.2; preview-latex is completely broken
Date: Sat, 12 Oct 2019 14:49:52 +0200
Remember to cover the basics.  Including a minimal LaTeX example
file exhibiting the problem might help.

In macOS, preview-latex suddenly completely broke. No matter what theme
in Emacs one uses, even without any theme, preview-latex won't produce
any preview images, and produces the following error messages with the
following LaTeX example:

\documentclass[a4paper]{amsart}

\usepackage{amssymb}

\begin{document}
Just an equation test.
\begin{equation}
  \label{eq:8d0ac0f229d8e476}
  E = m c^{2}.
\end{equation}

If one considers {\( C^{\ast} \)}\nobreakdash-algebras as
noncommutative locally compact spaces, one can form the category
\( \mathcal{C} \) of such spaces.

\end{document}

Last week, everything still worked fine with the modifications suggested
as in https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=35696

Thanks for your report.  This is a known issue and was fixed already
in the git repository
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/auctex.git
.  Please update AUCTeX to the latest development version if you can.

I expect AUCTeX 12.2 will be released soon, probably after Ghostscript
9.28 is released.

Regards,
Ikumi Keita
