Created attachment 39502 [details] Document with display artifacts Hello. The following document, generated from pod2pdf, is displayed with white squares in evince (I guess it's cairo backend), corresponding to end of lines in original pod document: =head1 title foo bar This display artefact doesn't appears when using xpdf instead. I can't decide if it's either a bug in pod2pdf or in poppler.
Can you attach a screenshot of what you get?

Which poppler version do you use?
poppler-0.14.4
Works for me on poppler 0.14.4, the only thing i can think of are: * you don't have poppler-data installed * the pdf doesn't have the fonts embedded and your fonconfigs for Helvetica and Helvetica-Bold are different than mine
I do have poppler-data installed, so I guess it's the second issue. The generated pdf file does have some binary content inside that might be embedded font definition. As I'm unable to decide myself, I'm attaching the file. I'm also attaching the result of 'fc-cat | grep Helvetica', which seems the way to get helvetica metrics. Just tell me if there is a better option.

Comment on attachment 39575 [details] problematic PDF document Ooops, the document was already attached
Renders fine for me too. IMHO this bug should be closed as there has been no activity for too long. Tested with: poppler-0.62.0-r1 poppler-data-0.4.8 Gentoo ~AMD64
The original test case still displays the same artefacts, and producing a new one produces the same result. I still have poppler-data installed, only my font config changed since I reported the issue. I'm attaching the new one.

I forgot my current poppler versions: - poppler 0.61.1 - poppler-data 0.4.8 I just checked patches applied on my distribution package: poppler package seems to use recent patches for malformed documents, and poppler-data has no patch at all.
