Title:
PDF content not rendering due to "some font thing failed", failed to
load truetype font - important data silently left out
Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: evince
I noticed that a PDF file I received from my accountant was
surprisingly missing some important data when viewed in Evince, so I
started Evince from the command line. I got an almost endless number
of error messages:
Error: PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
Error: Found a bad table definition on true type definition, trying to
continue...
Error: Found a bad table definition on true type definition, trying to
continue...
Error: failed to load truetype font
some font thing failed
Error: Found a bad table definition on true type definition, trying to
continue...
Error: Found a bad table definition on true type definition, trying to
continue...
Error: failed to load truetype font
I must say I'm utterly disgusted with Evince not displaying anything
at all when encountering a font problem. Why not fall back to an
existing font instead of silently suppressing the error?
