Two pdf's: one is displayed correctly, the other is not.

The summation and product symbols, which are produced using the standard LaTex macros \sum and \prod, are not displayed correctly.

I attach two pdf's: one of them is displays the symbols correctly, whereas the other shows the problem.

Acrobat Reader displays the symbols wrong too, so i think the PDF is badly generated. Closing the bug.

I generated the pdf pages using evince, and that must be the reason why Acroread also displays the wrong symbols.

Please take a look at the second attachment (full pdf). Acroread displays the correct symbols whereas evince is displaying them wrong.

Document that shows the problem.

Take a look at the symbols in the 4th line of property 1 of page 9. Acrobat reader displays the correct symbols, whereas evince does not.

Works for me, if it does not work for you it's because the PDF is using the Symbol font and it is not embedding it thus we query your computer for a font named Symbol, you should make sure a proper replacement is given for it. http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/poppler has some hints on how to do it
