Description of problem: For the pdf at http://www.willamette.edu/~ttalbott/FALSE_PROPHETS.PDF, which uses embedded fonts, evince displays the space character as an exclamation mark. Firefox pdf previewer and ghostscript both display the document correctly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evince-3.28.2-2.fc28.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download and open the specified URL with evince. 2. View the same URL with firefox previewer instead of evince (In Firefox: Edit / Preferences / Applications / Portable Document Format (PDF), specify "Preview in Firefox".) 3. In a terminal, not maximized, run: ~ gs ~/Downloads/FALSE_PROPHETS.PDF Actual results: evince displays spaces as exclamation marks, whereas Firefox previewer and gs display spaces correctly. Expected results: evince also displays the pdf embedded font correctly. Additional info: Same result for gnome XWayland and for gnome Xorg.
Hi, I've looked into this today and it seems that the Type3 fonts in the PDF don't have glyph for space character. I've proposed an upstream patch which fixes this. Let's wait for upstream's decision.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life. On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 28 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-05-28. Fedora 28 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
