The same happens with accentuated characters in spanish and portuguese on my rig. Version of gPDF is 2.8.2-4.2, here are two screenshots, note the missing 'é' from 'qué es DHCP?' in the gpdf screenshot, which is present in the Xpdf shot. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/thetargos/Bugs/gpdf.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/thetargos/Bugs/Xpdf.png
Evince (poppler) works just great, so I guess the 'fix' is to upgrade to FC4 :-).
Hi Oskai and Gian, In FC4, gpdf is being removed in favor of Evince. Because we will no longer be shipping gpdf we aren't going to be doing much development work on it.
