Description Sayamindu Dasgupta 2003-11-20 16:59:49 UTC 
GPDF is having some problems with displaying some of the characters in the
file at http://www.peacefulaction.org/sayamindu/glt-les4.pdf .

XPDF, on the other hand displays the file fine.
Comment 1 Martin Kretzschmar 2003-12-28 21:06:21 UTC 
Current gpdf can display the file almost correctly.
The e-mail address is rendered in the wrong font. It should be
Garamond, which is embedded as a TrueType font file.

The text that is set in the Satyajit or Samit (embedded Type 1C) font
looks ok.
Comment 2 Luis Villa 2004-01-08 21:43:46 UTC 
This works beautifully here- sayamindu, if you could build head (or at
least 2.5.2) and describe exactly what fails, I'm sure it would be
helpful.
Comment 3 Sayamindu Dasgupta 2004-01-09 04:34:18 UTC 
Tried it with HEAD (0.121.99). 
Problem persists. I am attaching two screenshots.

Please test again with a CVS build that includes the Fix for Bug 148362.
