Description of problem: I have tried to print a PDF file that can be found at: http://www.gnome-ev.de/images/d/df/Mitgliedsantrag_GNOME.pdf I can print Ok with XPDF but on Evince many things ar garbage Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evince-0.3.1-1 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open document http://www.gnome-ev.de/images/d/df/Mitgliedsantrag_GNOME.pdf 2. print Actual results: garbage on paper Expected results: nice printout Additional info: I also habe the problem to deinstall old packages like evince-0.2.1-1, but the binary I use to open is 0.3.1.
Another example of garbled printing can be produced when printing the following PDF file from evince: http://www.chicityclerk.com/residential_parking/residential_parking_web.pdf Printing on any of the three printers I have access to results in completely garbled text.
Evince also have problems printing umlaut characters (åäö) They show up as empty spaces.
http://sambanotes.org/Parent%20Meeting%20Hand-0ut.pdf also prints as garbage; display is OK. 181KB, 4 page Letter document, all text (no images), probably one embedded font. There is no "print to file" option to save PostScript, but output is trash (sparse text in Courier font, 5 lines per inch, many dollar/number/parenthesis/digit/unerlined characters) on HP LaserJet 4ML printer with true Adobe PostScript engine in the printer.
Created attachment 120504 [details] Test case with traditional Chinese characters With: evince-0.4.0-1.2 libgnomeprint22-2.10.3-1 libgnomeprintui22-2.10.1-1 The attached pdf with embeded traditional Chinese fonts render properly, but 'File'->'Print'->'Generic Postscript'->'Save as' produces a ps file that renders incorrectly. Using pdftops from xpdf produces a ps file that renders correctly. Same story with printing, lpr works but printing directly from libgnomeprintui produces the same incorrect output. Diffing the two ps files show that evince does not include the needed font data in its postscript output.
As of evince-0:0.5.1-3.x86_64 on fc5, printing of "Mitgliedsantrag_GNOME.pdf", "Parent Meeting Hand-0ut.pdf" and "test_chinese.pdf" seems to have all been fixed.
Using poppler-0.5.4 and evince-0.5.5, I can't reproduce this anymore. Closing bug.
