Description Luis Villa 2005-03-13 09:27:17 UTC
I'll shortly upload a pdf that doesn't render all the text in evince and kpdf,
with a screenshot of what adobe 7 (beta) shows it as, and what evince shows it
as (kpdf 3.4.0 is basically identical to evince.)

Strange as fonts are embedded into the pdf file, there should not be a problem 
showing them, also don?t know evince (don't have it installed) but kpdf 0.4 
can print the document without problems. So maybe it's a problem on how we 
decode the embedded font? 
Comment 5 Albert Astals Cid 2005-04-03 05:08:45 UTC
The problem is either in the embedded font or in freetype, as the embedded 
font has "%!PS-AdobeFont" header and freetype is checking for 
"%!PS-AdobeFont-1", going to T1_New_Parser and changing  
"%!PS-AdobeFont-1", 16 
to 
"%!PS-AdobeFont", 14 
gives me the correct display in kpdf 
Comment 6 Albert Astals Cid 2005-04-03 13:56:43 UTC
I've contacted the freetype guys and they have relaxed the check for a valid 
first line in Type 1 fonts so that this pdf works. I'm closing the bug as this 
is as fixed as it can be, need to wait for the next freetype release (rumors 
say it's coming in April)
