Description Bjorge Solli 2011-04-29 08:49:41 UTC
Created attachment 495736 [details]
PDF with math symbols.

Description of problem:
Symbol font in pdf not shown correctly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evince-2.32.0-3.fc14.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
Attached pdf created using windows xp, ms word with equations (mathtype) and pdf creator.
  
Actual results:
Some symbols in equations are shown wrong.

'less or equal' is shown as 'double quotation mark'.
'μ' is shown as 'proportionality'

Additional info:
Open the same file using gv gives the correct view.

Copying the text from the pdf and pasting it elsewhere gives the correct symbols.

I don't see the issue in version 2.32.0-4.fc14.x86_64.

Comment 2 Bjorge Solli 2011-05-21 09:22:01 UTC
I do see this in version evince-2.32.0-4.fc14.x86_64! Did you use my uploaded pdf?

Comment 3 schlaffi 2011-05-21 09:51:35 UTC
Yes I did use your pdf. Intrestingly on a second machine, I can confirm your issue.

Comment 4 Bjorge Solli 2011-05-21 12:28:50 UTC
Would it be interesting to compare installed rpms on the two systems?

all my rpms

Output from command:
rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}\n"

Comment 6 Marek Kašík 2011-05-23 10:34:04 UTC
Hi Bjorge,

thank you for the list of rpm packages, it helped me much in backtracing the problem. The problem is in font package wine-symbol-fonts. It has wrong symbols for the characters mentioned in the description (according to http://www.unicodemap.org/).
I'm reassigning this bug to the wine package.

Regards

Marek

P.S.: workaround: uninstall the wine-symbol-fonts package

Comment 7 Bjorge Solli 2011-05-23 10:47:01 UTC
Ah. Super. The workaround removed the problem. I should mention that I had wine.i686 installed, and that wine and wine-fonts are removed too as they are dependent on wine-symbol-fonts. Hope the wine folks fix it. I see it is not yet reassigned, should I do that?

Comment 8 Marek Kašík 2011-05-23 10:59:14 UTC
Ah, sorry, I tested it with the font only, so I didn't realized that it will remove wine too.

Marek

P.S.: I'm reassigning this now :)

Comment 9 schlaffi 2011-05-23 12:07:10 UTC
Just a note, that indeed the difference between my to machines is in fact that wine is not installed on one of them.

Comment 10 Bjorge Solli 2011-06-20 08:01:04 UTC
Hi, any updates?

Comment 11 Andreas Bierfert 2011-06-20 09:19:17 UTC
Thanks for the ping.

I will try to have a more in depth look later...

Comment 12 Bjorge Solli 2011-08-21 16:37:30 UTC
Hi again, will this be fixed?

Comment 13 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 21:24:41 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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 to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

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:
