The PDF below renders as complete gibberish (with some text missing) in evince. It renders fine with ghostscript/gv and with acroread. http://www.cs.cornell.edu/~saikat/EF-LB2731.pdf
Fedora Core 4 - x86_64 poppler-0.4.1-1.1 evince-0.4.0-1.2
Created attachment 3226 [details] PDF that is not rendered correctly
Yup, this was a 0.4.1 regression, 0.4.2 should fix this problem.
= Transfering this bug from GNOME Bugzilla: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318658 = I'm experiencing something similar with the following PDF in Evince 0.4.0-1 with libpoppler0c2 0.4.2-1 from Debian Etch, and other PDFs from the same source: http://linuxaudio.org/en/press/lud49-Audio_Libre.pdf These PDFs render perfectly well in xpdf or kpdf. Please confirm that this example renders OK with the latest CVS version of Evince/Poppler. Thanks! Daniel James
The exact same problem has been reported on Debian PowerPC, with PDFs from a different source: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=335625 The PDFs I had problems with were PDF1.3 and were made with the Adobe tools (InDesign etc). Perhaps this other magazine is using similar applications for PDF output. I would think this was a general bug with PDFs on Debian, except for the fact that xpdf and other free software viewers can view these particular PDFs properly on the same Debian systems. Could the problem be in the way Debian is packaging evince/poppler/cairo/fonts?
Yup, this bug resurfaced again on CVS head, it's fixed again.
