Description of problem: Looks like current gpdf is completely broken. It's unable to show any document correctly. In some documents it show underline characters in place of regular text, with other documents it's simply falling down. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gpdf-0.124-1 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. gpdf /usr/share/doc/pam-0.77/pdf/pam.pdf Actual results: You'll see white page with some horisontal lines on it. Expected results: display must be the same like in xpdf or ggv applications. gpdf is currently the default pdf viewer application, so this behavior is a showstopper. If it cannot be fixed, maybe ggv can be configured as the default pdf viewer - it works perfectly.
It works fine for other documents, such as /usr/share/doc/cups-1.1.20/translation.pdf.
Filed upstream as http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137365
/usr/share/doc/pam-0.77/pdf/pam.pdf seems unchanged by the http://people.redhat.com/wtogami/temp/ eexec freetype patch. This confirms this is a separate gpdf issue from Bug #117743.
Still occurs in gpdf-0.131-2, from fedora development latest. Upstream bug hasn't changed status either.
Confirmed: I have gpdf-0.131-2 and documents that dont display corectly, display perfectly with ggv.
Just to check point, gpdf-2.7.90-2 still has this same issue and the upstream bug is still open. I'll try to ping Martin sometime soon when I get the chance to chat with him.

gpdf 2.8.0 in test3 is still unable to display /usr/share/doc/pam-0.77/pdf/pam.pdf
The upstream bug has been marked as a dup of: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112506 Apparently not easy to solve :/
Mass reassign to Marco.
Hi Leonid, In FC4, we will be shipping Evince in place of gpdf. It offers nicer rendering, page thumbnails, and a very nice search interface. If you have any issues with Evince please file bugs under the evince component. Thanks.
