Description Bas Zoetekouw 2005-10-13 08:11:32 UTC
With a recent cvs (of 2005-10-11), some pdfs are corrupted totally or partially.
 This didn't occur with 0.4.2 afair.

Some examples of pdfs that are displayed corruptedly (when using evince):

Ok, it seems that this is being caused by evince not being able to find external
fonts.  For the documents that aren't displayed correctly, evince outputs things
like:
 >  Error: Couldn't find a font for 'Times Bold'
on the console.  

I'm using the Cairo font engine, btw.
