PDF file that evince prints with spaces

PDF with embedded Code39 barcode font is printed with random spaces in the barcodes, making them unusable.

Document Viewer 2.32.0 prints with spaces.
xpdf 3.02 prints them just fine.

There is no pattern behind which barcodes break.

Some combinations work on one PDF, and if the letters are rearranged they'll work on another PDF.
Comment 3 Albert Astals Cid 2011-10-18 02:33:38 UTC 
Which poppler version is that? Can you confirm that pdftops produces correct results?

Comment 7 Albert Astals Cid 2011-10-18 02:58:55 UTC 
0.14 is old, but anyway, pdftops working shows that it's a cairo backend issue.
Comment 8 Adrian Johnson 2011-10-18 03:09:36 UTC 
I can't reproduce it using either poppler 0.16.7/cairo 1.10.2 or poppler git/cairo git. Try upgrading to a more recent version to see if that fixes the problem.
Comment 9 Adrian Johnson 2016-07-16 06:20:13 UTC 
Works for me with the latest version. Version 0.14.3 is 6 years old. Please re-open if you can reproduce with a current version.
