One more note: Bug exists both with 2.33 version of the fonts (shipped with ubuntu 13.10) and with 2.34. I have recently committed a fix for this bug, could you please check if the problem persists with the most recent snapshot at http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/snapshots/ ? Thanks. Seems fixed at least on screen (tested with gs and acroread). Please let me have another day to test on postscript printers too before closing. I confirm it is fixed Ok, thank you for testing! |

Created attachment 93268 [details] Test pdf document Experiencing an issue with GREEK CAPITAL LETTER DELTA U+0394. Char appears fine on screen in most applications (working on Ubuntu 13.10), e.g. libreoffice, okular, etc. However char appears badly in other applications (acroread for linux, ghostscript based viewers) and most important cannot be properly printed on postscript printers, where the profile of the Delta gets completely filled with black ink. In the attachment, please find a minimal pdf doc showing the issue, a ghostscript based rendering with the issue and a photo of the printed doc. Problem is severe, because on most Linux distros most apps substitute DejaVu Sans for greek letters on all fonts that do not include them. This means that on linux, most docs including bold greek letters in a sans font do not print fine.
