Here is a partial list of incorrect mappings in symbols.ttf (this is just from the "Mathematical Operators" Unicode block:
0x2206 INCREMENT (displayed as an empty set symbol) 0x220f N-ARY PRODUCT (displayed as a division operator) 0x2211 N-ARY SUMMATION (displayed as a filled circle) 0x221a SQUARE ROOT (displayed as a squiggle) 0x221e INFINITY (displayed as an open circle) 0x222b INTEGRAL (displayed as three stacked horizontal bars) 0x2248 ALMOST EQUAL TO (displayed as a circled plus sign) 0x2260 NOT EQUAL TO (displayed as an up arrow) 0x2264 LESS-THAN OR EQUAL TO (displayed as a double quote) Like I said, this is just from the "Mathematical Operators" block, I didn't check any other blocks, although we know there must be other blocks involved since the bullet symbol at least is also wrong and that is in the "General Punctuation" block. This is just to demonstrate the extent of the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to poppler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/789479 Title: Improper encoding of the "Symbol" font Status in Wine: New Status in “poppler” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “wine1.2” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “wine1.3” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: The characters 'm' and 'p' are mapped to wrong glphys in the base-14 font "Symbol". This problem has not occurred in maverick. I'm attaching a pdf-file that uses all base-14 fonts without embedding them, and screenshots from maverick and natty. Note the differences in the 5th word in the "Symbol" line. The screenshots were made in TeXworks which is based on poppler-qt4 (evince in natty gives the same result as TeXworks, but I don't have a maverick-screenshot of it at hand). $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 $apt-cache policy libpoppler-qt4-3 libpoppler-qt4-3: Installed: 0.16.4-0ubuntu1.1 Candidate: 0.16.4-0ubuntu1.1 Version table: *** 0.16.4-0ubuntu1.1 0 500 http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/ubuntu/archive/ natty-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 0.16.4-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/ubuntu/archive/ natty/main amd64 Packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/wine/+bug/789479/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
