PDF with double-headed dotted arrow as sole object (946 bytes, application/pdf)
2006-06-29 03:04 UTC, Bob Tennent 		Details

Description Bob Tennent 2006-06-29 03:00:49 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Dotted arrows produced by pstricks in LaTeX are not rendered on the screen, though they print OK and the Postscript versions from which the PDFs are
made display OK.

Steps to reproduce:
1. display the PDF to be attached in evince
2. 
3. 


Actual results:
The arrow-heads are displayed; the dotted line between them is not.

Expected results:
The dooted line should be displayed; compare with acroread or gv or xpdf.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
gpdf has the same problem.

Comment 2 Baptiste Mille-Mathias 2006-06-29 10:30:16 UTC 
Working fine here with evince 0.5.2 and poppler 0.5.1
What is the version of evince and poppler you use ?
Comment 3 Ben Maurer 2006-06-29 11:24:27 UTC 
Also can't repro with newer evince. Closing. However, there is an issue: the arrow is not antialiased in evince. Filed https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7361.
Comment 4 Bob Tennent 2006-06-29 11:46:44 UTC 
Problem observed with

evince-0.5.3-1

or

evince-0.5.1-3
poppler-0.5.1-2
gpdf-2.8.2-4.2

on three FC5 systems.
Comment 5 Ben Maurer 2006-06-29 12:04:54 UTC 
reopening. Maybe a fedora specific issue?

  > Maybe a fedora specific issue?
 
Maybe.  evince-0.5.2 works properly on this PDF on Ubuntu 6.06.
Comment 7 Bob Tennent 2006-06-30 02:18:09 UTC 
It seems the bug is in cairo (used in Fedora, not used in Ubuntu):
