Description of problem: When poppler-data package is missing, both evince and pdftops misrender some PDF files. There should be an explicit dependency on poppler-data in the poppler package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): poppler-utils-0.12.2-1.fc12.x86_64 poppler-data-0.3.1-1.fc12.noarch poppler-0.12.2-1.fc12.x86_64 poppler-qt4-0.12.2-1.fc12.x86_64 poppler-glib-0.12.2-1.fc12.x86_64 evince-2.28.2-1.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -e poppler-data # Note no complains on dependencies 2. evince http://ftp.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/xetex/latex/fontspec/fontspec.pdf 3. go to the third page (labeled as page "2"). Actual results: Some parts of the text (especially those in monospace font) are not visible. Examples: the content of the parenthesis in the first paragraph, or the whole code example in the section "1.1". Expected results: The complete text should be visible (as it is after "yum install poppler-data"). Additional info: Wasted time of upstream: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25969 Probably related Fedora bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=540576
It's not needed for many folks, however. poppler-data's README claims it's only required for CJK and Cyrillic (and related) locales, which we handle already when installing support for those languages in fedora, in particular, chinese-support japanese-support korean-support russian-support thai-support ukranian-support Now, I don't feel too strogly, it's just a way for us to save a bit of space on our already very constrained live images. Any other(co)maintainer have an opinion here?
fwiw, the presence or not of poppler-data makes little difference for bug #540576 (per my comments there).
Upstream was non-committal in my query if they considered poppler-data a hard dependency or not.
I think we should probably just depend on it, since we generally default to support all languages equally, out-of-the-box
OK (except for all the <language>-support items ... of course, like fonts and extra langpacks)
Committed and built (poppler-0.12.3-6). Marek

I did rpm -e poppler-data yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update poppler and it fetched poppler-data besides poppler as expected. Thanks for fixing the problem!
