Description Stephane Jourdan 2003-04-30 08:27:03 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030422
Firebird&#153; 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

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.
