Original file

Reported in GNOME Bugzilla: 

When printing certain pdf documents from evince, often certain characters (most
notably, minus signs) fail to print.

Troubleshooting:

Printing from xpdf works fine.

All fonts are embedded in the document.

It fails to print as PDF file. The system is Debian Sid.

According to the output file, it is cairo 1.12.2

Same file printed with evince linked against cairo 1.12.2

The minus symbols are not shown neither with evince nor xpdf.  Although, they are visible in Inkscape.

It seems similar to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60248, but it is not.  In that bug, the reported says it worked on cairo 1.12.2, and here it does not.

Unfortunately, I can't reproduce the problem with poppler/cairo master, neither with the older version I have (0.18.4/0.10.2).
Comment 3 Germán Poo-Caamaño 2013-04-09 23:52:38 UTC 
I just tried out cairo 1.12.2 and I could reproduce the bug.  So, this bug is already fixed with newer versions of cairo.  The problem was not in poppler.

I am sorry for the noise.
