Created attachment 714665 [details] PDF of an octave plot showing incorrect display of greek letters Description of problem: incorrect glyph displayed in a PDF file Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evince-3.6.1-2.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: very Steps to Reproduce: 1. run evince on enclosed file 2. observe displayed plot title Actual results: The string is shown as approximately 'oc = 0.4965, sigma = 0.2836' Expected results: the glyph for Greek letter mu should be shown instead of the displayed symbol which I think is either stylized alpha or the congruence symbol (looks like kerned 'oc' on my monitor) Additional info: I can cut and paste the string in emacs and confirm that the first greek character is indeed 'mu', char 956 or hex 0x3bc, while the second greek character is 'sigma', char 963 or hex 0x3c3
Hi Przemek, which fonts are listed in Properties->Fonts ? Regards Marek
Properties->Fonts shows two fonts: Symbol Type 1 Encoding Custom, Not embedded, substituting with Symbol (/usr/share/fonts/wine-symbol-fonts/symbol.ttf) Helvetica Encoding Standard, Not embedded, substituting with Nimbus Sans L (/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/n019003l.pfb)
This is a duplicate of bug #901858 then. Regards *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 901858 ***
As the discussion in bug #901858 advises, the following worked for me: mkdir ~/.config/fontconfig cat > ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <!-- $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fontconfig/fonts.conf for per-user font configuration --> <fontconfig> <!-- Blacklist wine Symbol font --> <rejectfont> <glob>/usr/share/fonts/wine-symbol-fonts/symbol.ttf</glob> </rejectfont> </fontconfig>
