Hello to everybody!

I've been unable to read the text within the TIFF images the Official
Bulleting from my Country issues diary.

The effect is as if some horizontal lines were not displayed thus making
letters impossible to read (more or less the same effect you get when
sending faxes with normal resolution instead of fine resolution).

After several tries with multiple programs and tool from the libtiff
library I've given up. To my surprise, Windoze reads them correctly both
with Photoshop and IE (not with native image viewer which suffers the same
problem :) ).

You can find those tiffs at:
http://www.boe.es/sumarios/ultimo
Any link in that page points to a TIFF file with that problem.

I'm using libtiff version 3.5.4-2 in a potato Debian GNU/Linux distribution.

Any clues?

Thank you in advance,

Juan-Mariano.
