** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #723431 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723431 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1287915 Title: pdf not rendered to device pixels on high-dpi screen Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: If the global scaling factor is set to something different from 1 on a high-dpi screen, pdfs look blurry because they are rendered to UI units instead of device pixels. This renders the main advantage of higher-resolution screens (sharp vector fonts/graphics) useless for the moment. org.gnome.desktop.interface.scaling-factor = 2 As I've heard the used setting for the scaling factor might change.
