Printing some PDFs produced weird unintentional spaces
Last modified: 2008-11-02 11:33:42 UTC
Please describe the problem: When printing the attached PDF, Evince introduces weird unintentional spaces. These spaces sometimes occur within words. These spaces destroy the legibility of the printed document. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open test.pdf with Evince 2. File - Print (HP DeskJet) Actual results: Weird spaces in the all paragraphs (some examples): t ypes of f oot soldiers A t ypical unit try is bet ween five and t en models str ong but Expected results: Normal output like this: types of foot soldiers A typical unit try is between five and ten models strong but Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: I've tried printing the attached PDF with Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 for Linux, which printed the document properly (as intended).
Created attachment 109169 [details] Test PDF This PDF was generated with Heirloom Troff/DPost to PostScript and converted to PDF with GhostScript 8.61 (ps2pdf13).
I was using: Evince 2.22 (poppler cairo 0.6.4) on Ubuntu Hardy (beta)
hmm, I can't reproduce it with cairo 1.6.4, what cairo version do you have?
One of the 1.5.x development snapshots of cairo that a beta version of Hardy was using had this bug. It was fixed in 1.6.0.
