From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041002 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: The PDF file available at http://pbfixit.com/Guide/50/ScrewGuide.pdf displays garbled with xpdf. Older versions (tested 2.02pl1 and 2.01) work fine, I've got a working report from 3.00 from Debian, too.\ ggv claims that the file is invalid PDF. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xpdf-3.00-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Display file with xpdf 2. 3. Actual Results: Garbled fonts, pictures are ok Expected Results: Clear fonts Additional info:
it seems that new freetype-2.1.9 causes this problem. Does it work for you if you reinstall the old freetype-2.1.7? which version of freetype is used on debian?
Going back to 2.1.7 (from FC2) fixes it. Debian seems to use 2.1.7, too.
This also hits the Enterprise branch. More specifically, it is an issue in the second beta for RHEL 4.
Created attachment 110246 [details] evince patch
This is the patch I applied to evince (ported from kpdf). It should work for xpdf too...
This isn't applied to evince-0.1.0-0.20050120 (from jkatz) yet, right? Because this version fails on the same PDFs as xpdf does.
No, I checked in the patch two minutes ago ;)
The problem is now fixed in xpdf-3.00-15. It will showup in rawhide soon. Marco, thanks for your info.
