Description Jan "Yenya" Kasprzak 2010-01-09 21:37:50 UTC

Description of problem:
When poppler-data package is missing, both evince and pdftops misrender some PDF files. There should be an explicit dependency on poppler-data in the poppler package.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
poppler-utils-0.12.2-1.fc12.x86_64
poppler-data-0.3.1-1.fc12.noarch
poppler-0.12.2-1.fc12.x86_64
poppler-qt4-0.12.2-1.fc12.x86_64
poppler-glib-0.12.2-1.fc12.x86_64
evince-2.28.2-1.fc12.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -e poppler-data # Note no complains on dependencies
2. evince http://ftp.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/xetex/latex/fontspec/fontspec.pdf
3. go to the third page (labeled as page "2").
  
Actual results:
Some parts of the text (especially those in monospace font) are not visible. Examples: the content of the parenthesis in the first paragraph, or the whole code example in the section "1.1".

Expected results:
The complete text should be visible (as it is after "yum install poppler-data").

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2010-01-09 23:13:16 UTC

It's not needed for many folks, however.  

poppler-data's README claims it's only required for CJK and Cyrillic (and related) locales, which we handle already when installing support for those languages in fedora, in particular,
chinese-support
japanese-support
korean-support
russian-support
thai-support
ukranian-support

Now, I don't feel too strogly, it's just a way for us to save a bit of space on our already very constrained live images.

Any other(co)maintainer have an opinion here?

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2010-01-09 23:47:26 UTC

fwiw, the presence or not of poppler-data makes little difference for bug #540576 (per my comments there).

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2010-01-19 17:55:57 UTC

Upstream was non-committal in my query if they considered poppler-data a hard dependency or not.

Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2010-01-20 16:20:04 UTC

I think we should probably just depend on it, since we generally default to support all languages equally, out-of-the-box

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2010-01-20 16:26:50 UTC

OK (except for all the <language>-support items ... of course, like fonts and extra langpacks)

Comment 6 Marek Kašík 2010-01-21 08:59:44 UTC

Committed and built (poppler-0.12.3-6).

Comment 9 Jan "Yenya" Kasprzak 2010-01-26 07:38:03 UTC

I did

rpm -e poppler-data
yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update poppler

and it fetched poppler-data besides poppler as expected. Thanks for fixing the problem!
