From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030422 Firebird™ Browser/0.6 Description of problem: There is no fonts antialisasing in any PDF file I try to load (very ugly, needless to say). The "Antialiasing" option is checked. When launching gs with selected options, the AA renders without problems (/usr/bin/gs -sDEVICE=x11alpha) In the meantime, xpdf renders with AA without problems. This bug has been verified in 2 laptops I loaded with RedHat 9. There is no error message displayed, neither in the console nor in the GUI. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ggv-1.99.97-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Launch GGV 2.Open a PDF 3.Observe there's no AA (same when launched via command line or via nautilus) Actual Results: No AA rendering Expected Results: AA rendering Additional info:
ggv is going to lose it's pdf capabilities in favor of gpdf upstream, making this bug moot in the future.
I found this bug when I was trying to see if anyone had the same problem I had. This is the same problem I have. I tried to compile gpdf on RH9, but it requires some newer libraries than what RH9 provides. Can't get gpdf 0.103 or even gpdf 0.100 to get past './configure'. My solution was to downgrade to the ggv (ggv-1.99.9-5) from RH8. This seems to work fine for me. I do see some bonobo warnings (see below) but everything seems to work okay. Maybe this note will help others who come across this bug. -- $ ggv Temp/T-US-389935-E.pdf (ggv:19761): Bonobo-WARNING **: Unknown icon_pixbuf type 'none' (ggv:19761): Bonobo-WARNING **: Unknown icon_pixbuf type 'none' (ggv:19761): Bonobo-WARNING **: Unknown icon_pixbuf type 'none' (ggv:19761): Bonobo-CRITICAL **: file bonobo-ui-util.c: line 182 (bonobo_ui_util_xml_to_pixbuf): assertion `xml != NULL' failed (ggv:19761): Bonobo-CRITICAL **: file bonobo-ui-util.c: line 182 (bonobo_ui_util_xml_to_pixbuf): assertion `xml != NULL' failed (ggv:19761): Bonobo-WARNING **: Unknown icon_pixbuf type 'none'
