Description Ghee Teo 2011-11-11 07:45:43 UTC
Created attachment 53405 [details]
sample pdf file

In Solaris 11, we have poppler 0.14.4 with evince 2.30.3.
With the attached pdf file, two things happened:
- clicking on (page one) of the checkbox does not show up 'tick' symbol
- when select print to file, format pdf, then click on the Prent Preview, the letter '4' appears in the ticked boxes instead of 'tick'

I think the problem is caused by the wrong fonts have been used to render that field.

I don't see the problem with poppler 0.12.4 (Evince 2.28.x) on Oracle Linux 6 nor ubuntu 10.4 (Evince 2.30.2).

poppler 0.14.4 is 20 releases behind the current one, so please try poppler 0.18.1 and if it still happens come back to us.

Hmm, thanks for letting know.
Unfortunately, the work is a bit more extensive since release after 0.14.x is dependent on cairo 1.10.0 but only have 1.8.10 on the system.
Will take longer to get there.
