Description André Klapper 2013-10-19 17:05:23 UTC 
evince-3.8.3-2.fc19.i686
poppler-0.22.1-4.fc19.i686

1. Download http://darwin.bth.rwth-aachen.de/opus3/volltexte/2010/3412/pdf/3412.pdf
2. Search for "bug"
3. Get only run result on page 128 (143 of 209)

See that page vii (7 of 209) has the word 
      BugzillaMetrics
(in italic), last but 10 line. 

Would have expected the search to find it.
Comment 1 Carlos Garcia Campos 2013-10-19 17:29:25 UTC 
There seems to be a problem with the text in that page. Try selecting BugzillaMetrics and pasting it in gedit (or somewhere else) and see the result. It could be that the glyph to utf8 map is wrong in the pdf. Could someone try to copy and paste that text with acroread?
Comment 2 André Klapper 2013-10-20 00:20:11 UTC 
      True, gibberish when copying from evince to gedit.

      When copying the line from Firefox' pdf.js to gedit, I get
stoÿ für das Op en Source Pro jekt
Bugzil laMetrics
gegeb en hat. Eine b esondere
      instead of
stoß für das Open Source Projekt BugzillaMetrics gegeben hat. Eine besondere

      No acroread around.
Comment 3 Jason Crain 2013-10-22 05:31:45 UTC 
acroread copy and paste shows this:
    sto
    ÿ für das Open Source Projekt BugzillaMetrics gegeben hat. Eine besondere

Firefox shows this:
    stoÿ für das Op en Source Pro jekt
    Bugzil laMetrics
    gegeb en hat. Eine b esondere

Foxit, Chrome, and Evince all show a bunch of wingdings characters.  This might be a regression because the version on Debian Wheezy (Evince 3.4.0-3.1 / poppler 0.18.4-6) shows the correct text.

I think it's poppler bug 60243 <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60243>.  The patch I posted there fixes this problem.

I'm closing this as NOTGNOME, then.
