The patch seemed to work for me on utopic, so I uploaded a stable update. Please check once you get a call for testing via this bug.
** Description changed: - While there's Bug #1325230 with the same title and the linked PDFs there are working fine here (displaying "fi" correctly) there seems to be still some bug regarding ligatures. + [ Description ] + + Some ligatures (e.g. "fi") are not displayed in certain fonts, because + there are two different naming schemes in use in the wild. + + [ Fix ] + + Poppler upstream fixed this by adding a lookup table to fall back to the + second scheme if necessary. + + [ QA ] + + 1. Install tex-gyre + 2. Download https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/1317599/+attachment/4213588/+files/rfa1415_15sep_lect1.pdf + 3. Open the file in evince + 4. Look at "Biometrics: file" on page 3 + + If the "fi" ligature in "file" is not displayed, you have this bug. + "file" should be displayed normally after it's fixed. + + [ Regression potential ] + + Since this patch implements a fallback only when lookup false, there + shouldn't be any problems. Still, check all existing PDFs are still + displayed correctly. + + [ Original report ] + + While there's Bug #1325230 with the same title and the linked PDFs there are working fine here (displaying "fi" correctly) there seems to be still some bug regarding ligatures. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/1325230 I have some PDFs substituting Helvetica (and others) with TeX Gyre Heros and showing no "fi" ligature. I attached a patch I derived from the patch in Bug #1325230 which is working fine. Now it uses Nimbus Sans L and the ligatures are fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to poppler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1379375 Title: evince does not display ligatures To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/1379375/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
