Created attachment 40929 [details] Okular NOT showing mathematic symbols (+, =, -, etc.) Okular is not able to show some mathematical symbols in this PDF: http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/(SICI)1098-2760(199711)16:4%3C249::AID-MOP15%3E3.0.CO;2-0 (I can provide the pdf for testing). I suspect the problem might be in underlaying libraries since Mendeley Desktop (http://www.mendeley.com/) shows the same problem. Foxit reader 1.1.0 and Acrobat Reader 9.4, on the other hand, can show them just fine. I'll be attaching some screenshots.
Created attachment 40930 [details] Mendeley not showing symbols either.
Created attachment 40931 [details] Foxit reader correctly showing symbols.
Using poppler 0.14.5-1, okular 0.11.2, kde 4.5.4, on ArchLinux x86_64.
Without the pdf file there is not much we can do.
I know, that's why I said I could provide it. I did not attached it due to copyright questions, but I could forward it by email to a dev so he can check it out. I'll send you a copy.
Please.
Done ;)
Freetype is failing to render one of the fonts of the document. I will contact them.
It has been fixed in the freetype git repository. Will be in the next freetype release i guess.
Great! Thanx ;)
I recompiled freetype2 2.4.4 with this particular patch: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freetype/freetype2.git/commit/?id=396b11b840f84e8bff62f3c361d0b592e77ee703 and now okular shows the missing symbols. kudos! Mendeley still does not show them, probably using a internal provided library.
