Created attachment 321533 [details] Federal W-9 as example input for evince Description of problem: I'm trying to edit the federal W9 form at: www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf I want to check the type of tax entity. If you move the cursor over the check box it changes from text insertion to a finger pointer, but pressing the mouse button does not check the box. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evince-2.24.1-1.fc10.i386 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: See Description Actual results: Nothing gets checked Expected results: Checkbox is checked. Additional info:
This turns out to be a font configuration problem. See the upstream bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=502664 I can fix it by adding <alias binding="same"> <family>ZapfDingbats</family> <accept><family>Dingbats</family></accept> </alias> next to the existing Dingbats alias in the file /etc/fonts/conf.d/30-urw-aliases.conf.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Filed upstream: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19128 Will get it in the fontconfig tree I'm working on.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. 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 prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 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. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Please re-open, problem persists in Fedora 12. The change from Matthias appears to be installed on F12, but when I move the mouse over a checkbox, the pointer turns to a finger, but clicking the square does not do anything. Testing using the same IRS W-9 rev Oct 2007 that's included in my earlier report.
Problem still there with evince-2.28.2-1.fc12.x86_64. In some documents boxes can't be checked at all, in other documents a '$' is shown instead of an 'X'.

Still true in Fedora 13 with evince 2.30.3-1 and fontconfig-2.8.0-1
Still true on Fedora 14, 2.32.0-1, fontconfig 2.8.0-2. Matthias's fix in comment #1 works for me.
(In reply to comment #11) > Still true on Fedora 14, 2.32.0-1, fontconfig 2.8.0-2. Matthias's fix in > comment #1 works for me. Same here. Is there a reason for not adding that simple fix to the fontconfig package?

Could you attach to this bug working /etc/fonts/conf.d/30-urw-aliases.conf which would make checkbox be checked with something else than $ sign in http://cds.mfcr.cz/cps/rde/xbcr/cds/Interaktiv_5405_17_4AK.pdf, please? It seems to me that the fix from the comment 1 has been already added to that file, so it is probably not done correctly. Thank you

Seems _both_ entries are needed.

Is there any reason why this bug, with a trivial patch that works (just confirmed on FC14) hasn't been applied? Note that doing the fc-cache will crash firefox, but evince display checkboxes correctly afterwards.
I can confirm this for FC15. Why is this on NEEDINFO?
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
