Description Przemek Klosowski 2013-03-22 17:04:30 UTC
Created attachment 714665 [details]
PDF of an octave plot showing incorrect display of greek letters

Description of problem:
incorrect glyph displayed in a PDF file

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evince-3.6.1-2.fc18.x86_64

How reproducible: very


Steps to Reproduce:
1. run evince on enclosed file
2. observe displayed plot title 
  
Actual results:
The string is shown as approximately 'oc = 0.4965, sigma = 0.2836'

Expected results:
the glyph for Greek letter mu should be shown instead of the displayed symbol which I think is either stylized alpha or the congruence symbol (looks like kerned 'oc' on my monitor)

Additional info:

I can cut and paste the string in emacs and confirm that the first greek character is indeed 'mu', char 956 or hex 0x3bc, while the second greek character is 'sigma', char 963 or hex 0x3c3

Hi Przemek,

which fonts are listed in Properties->Fonts ?

Regards

Marek

Comment 2 Przemek Klosowski 2013-04-09 13:45:18 UTC
Properties->Fonts shows two fonts:

Symbol Type 1 Encoding Custom, Not embedded, substituting with Symbol (/usr/share/fonts/wine-symbol-fonts/symbol.ttf)

Helvetica Encoding Standard, Not embedded, substituting with Nimbus Sans L (/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/n019003l.pfb)

This is a duplicate of bug #901858 then.

Comment 4 Przemek Klosowski 2013-04-09 14:06:08 UTC
As the discussion in bug #901858 advises, the following worked for me:

mkdir  ~/.config/fontconfig
cat > ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fontconfig/fonts.conf for per-user font configuration -->
<fontconfig>

<!--
     Blacklist wine Symbol font
-->
<rejectfont>
   <glob>/usr/share/fonts/wine-symbol-fonts/symbol.ttf</glob>
</rejectfont>
</fontconfig>
