File where printing fails

Evince fails to print attached PDF. The text is unreadable in resulting postscript. Converting the same PDF to postscript using popplers pdftops works just fine.

The postscript itself is too big, attaching only screenshot to show the breakage.

Yes I can confirm this in 2.32.x
Change the status to NEW
Try to testing in git master but I can do it, gtk fail to compile.
Comment 6 Adrian Johnson 2011-02-08 09:09:43 UTC 
Works fine with cairo and poppler git. There are some bug fixes in cairo 1.10.2 for this type of bug.
Comment 7 Michal Čihař 2011-02-08 09:52:17 UTC 
I've updated cairo to 1.10.2 and it is still the same.
Comment 8 Adrian Johnson 2011-02-08 10:27:54 UTC 
Can you attach the PS output. If it is too big you only need to print one page.

Comment 10 Adrian Johnson 2011-02-08 11:20:11 UTC 
I can reproduce it in cairo 1.10.2. It turned out to be a buggy font in the PDF that contains two "/Encoding" entries. The bug does not occur in master due to some changes in the font encoding used.

Fixed in cairo with this commit:
