Description trasz 2006-11-08 09:42:30 UTC 
Evince 0.6.1 (poppler 0.5.4 (cairo)) shows text with letters mirrored vertically
in the following pdf file:

http://pin.if.uz.zgora.pl/~trasz/tpa6120a2.pdf

Version from GNOME-2.14 worked ok. Other files are still OK, i encountered this
problem with only that one.

Are you sure that you are using a poppler with the patch that you attached? I 
can not reproduce the problem here.

Sorry, you are right about that this patch has fixed this problem. I have mixed 
up with the between of poppler vs poppler-gtk when I tested with evince on 
FreeBSD. After the rebuild of both poppler(-gtk) with the patch and it works 
now. Marking this as closing.

This is listed as Resolved, but the problem is still occurring with evince 0.8.2/poppler 0.5.4 (cairo).  Numerous other reports of this bug to gnome's bugzilla as bug 366475 in 2007.  What is the flow for getting this fix into the main stream?
Comment 7 Albert Astals Cid 2008-01-20 10:10:27 UTC 
It is integrated in the main stream because we ARE the main poppler source, if you have problems with Ubuntu packages complaint to them.

Your Poppler and Evince are out of date. Current there have Poppler 0.6.3 and Evince 2.20.2 (or 2.21.1 development version).

I'm running Fedora 7.  I'll take the issue up in Fedora Forums - thanks.
