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
