ü is encoded wrong on the titlebar

Characters in the title seems not to be shown in utf-8. For example an ü will be shown as ü. In the attachments is a screenshot to show this problem.

Firstly, there does seem to be something seriously wrong with your evince installation (the missing icons, weird window frame etc)…

Secondly, please attach one document that when opened in evince shows this problem.

If you are running evince built with jhbuild, install gnome-theme-standard.

And as Christian said, please attach a PDF test case.

Maybe there is a dependency missing on the Ubuntu package or something else is broken. I will create a ticket on the Launchpad tracker for this.

In the attachments is the pdf which shows ü.

Thanks for attaching a test case.

This might be an issue either with the PDF or with Poppler.

When trying to uncompress the stream of the pdf I get:

$ qpdf --stream-data=uncompress ü.pdf u-un.pdf
WARNING: ü.pdf (object 13 0, file position 1409): empty object treated as null
qpdf: operation succeeded with warnings; resulting file may have some problems

I also suspect on the PDF because when you look at the properties of the file using Acroread, it gets the same issue.
Comment 5 Germán Poo-Caamaño 2013-10-30 20:17:03 UTC 
I forwarded the bug report to Poppler.  Although, I suspect the issue is the PDF itself.
