File with broken rendering

See the attachment. The summary block isn't rendered, unlike in Chrome.
Comment 1 Pastafarianist 2015-09-19 15:24:15 UTC
I note that the bug shows up in Okular under Kubuntu 15.04, so I'm not sure that I've chosen the frontend correctly.
Comment 2 Albert Astals Cid 2015-09-19 16:08:41 UTC
Since i don't have Chrome, please provide a rendering of how you think this should look like.

Comment 4 Thomas Freitag 2015-09-21 07:39:10 UTC
Adobe reader, either unix or windows, tells:
Cannot extract the embedded font 'Arial,Bold'. Some characters may not display or print correctly.
So I would guess the PDF is not welformed!
Comment 5 Albert Astals Cid 2015-09-21 17:48:45 UTC
Yeah the font stream is empty so the file is defenitely malformed.

Doesn't mean we could try actally rendering it, i thought we had a "if freetype can not open font default to doing font substitution", but it seems not?
Comment 6 Albert Astals Cid 2015-09-21 17:49:33 UTC
Probably a patch to fix this would also fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92017

Invalidates an embedded font and use an external font

This patch solves it in the splash backend: if it encounters a problem with an embedded font it invalidates it and tries to find a matching external file.

It's probably such easy to solve it in the cairo backend, too.

Pushed Thomas' patch + a leak fix from me.

Reassigning to cairo.

CairoFontEngine: Try external font if embedded font fails

Some documents fail to render because the embedded font doesn't load.
If loading the embedded font fails, try with an external font.

Attached is a version of the patch for the cairo backend.
