Created attachment 346040 [details] pdf document Hello: I have seen this problem with pdfs I have produced using MSword with pdf architect under windows but I now see the same thing looking at some IEEE documents. This is NOT a new bug, its been around since I've been using evince. If I look at the document using Adobe acrobat reader 9.5.5-r3 on gentoo, it reads fine with Pi showing up properly. Evince will also print the document incorrectly showing the not equal sign rather than the greek pi symbol. I have attached the extracted page from the IEEE doc. Cheers, John
Cannot reproduce on 3.22.1, pi symbol in attached PDF printed correctly here
Cool! I installed qpdfview today which also depends on poppler and it did that same as what I described above. I updated my poppler from 0.45 to 0.52 and dos the same as evince. Let me keyword 3.22.1 and see how it goes. I also built mupdf which does NOT use poppler and it displays the characters correctly. One other thing I forgot, the "u", miu character, the one used for permiability also displays incorrectly. Cheers, John
Hi: I emerged evince 3.22.1 and it does the same thing.... Weird. I wonder what I am doing wrong on my system? I'll look into this more. Cheers, john
