Description Karl Relton 2007-12-16 16:39:43 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
A certain PDF displays properly, but when printed certain text lines have garbled output.

This can be seen even by 'Printing to PDF' in evince and looking at the resulting PDF.

Note that sending the original PDF direct to the printer via CUPS lp command (i.e.  lp file.pdf) it prints correctly.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open certain pdf file in evince
2. Print to PDF in evince
3. View output pdf file


Actual results:
Resulting pdf has a couple of lines of garbled text

Expected results:
All lines of text should match original!

Does this happen every time?
Every time - on certain pdf files
