Description David Henry 2007-01-01 06:14:34 UTC

Description:
 Poppler produces a wrong rendering of a pdf generated with ps2pdf. The original
postscript file has been produced with a2ps from a C source file.

Steps to reproduce:
 1. Create an hello.c file with some code (hello world...)
 2. a2ps hello.c -o hello.ps
 3. ps2pdf hello.ps

Expected result:
 Keywords are rendered in bold, types in italics, standard code in normal
weight.

Poppler result:
 Standard code is rendered in bold face, like keywords.

You can compare the rendering with xpdf for example. Note that poppler renders
well the PS file.
