Description of problem:

It is not possible to toggle the state of checkboxes in PDF forms.  Think its not a dupe of Bug #562952, but my file doesn't have ZapfDingBats font.  See below...
	
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

evince 2.28.2-1.fc12
poppler 0.12.4-2.fc12

How reproducible:

Will attach a fillable form.

Additional info:
At first I thought this was a dupe of #562952.  But here's the pdffont output for the file, note no dingbats and wingdings is embedded!:

Comment 1 Colin Macdonald 2010-03-20 15:50:50 UTC 
Ooops, just tried the ZapfDingbats ~/.font.conf workaround and it seems it fixes this problem too (maybe wingdings is just an alias to zapfdingbats).

So I guess its a dupe of Bug #562952 afterall.

Why isn't the workaround in fedora?
