Description Vincent Noel 2005-08-08 17:59:10 UTC 
With CVS cairo, poppler and evince, several PDFs are wrongly rendered, see for
example this one :

Comment 2 Kristian Høgsberg 2005-08-11 21:10:03 UTC 
Could you try out the 0.4 branch of poppler?  This is what will be in gnome 2.12
and we recently checked in a change to the font handling on head which likely is
the cause of this problem.
Comment 3 Luis Villa 2005-08-18 13:27:03 UTC 
It does look like acrobat uses a different font than evince for this doc, but
otherwise AFAICT with HEAD evince renders this fine- Vincent, please reopen if
you are seeing something kristian and I are not.
Comment 4 Martin Kretzschmar 2005-08-18 14:40:53 UTC 
That's a bug (marketing gag because everybody's tired of looking at Times and
Helvetica?) in Acrobat.

Acrobat doesn't use the real Times/Helvetica when they're not embedded in pdf
files. Neither does evince. But our fonts look like the real fonts.
Comment 5 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2006-01-20 18:39:59 UTC 
This bug is still not fixed, although it is marked as such... can someone please reopen it? Bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4030 seems related too.
Comment 6 Nickolay V. Shmyrev 2006-01-21 20:01:31 UTC 
I think it's a poppler issue anyhow, let's discuss it in poppler bug 4030
Comment 7 Mathis Ahrens 2006-01-29 22:07:12 UTC 
That bug should discuss the crash, but the rendering seems fixed in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5758
