There seems to be a regression bug exactly as described in the currently fully patched ubuntu 16.04.
I found this problem recently with a pdf prepared by origin on windows. The file contains mu characters. I came accross this bug report, and the datasheet posted by the OP, on page 6, lower right, shows missing characters in Okular 0.24.2 with PDF Backend 0.6.5. (I am attaching no images, one by okular and one by Firefox). Evince also renders wrongly. libpoppler is 0.41.0-0ubuntu1.1. ** Attachment added: "Correctly rendered in Firefox" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/518236/+attachment/4863407/+files/renderFirefox.jpg -- 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/518236 Title: Evince/Okular displays incorrect characters Status in poppler package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: When using evince/okular to display a PDF file, all degree signs (°) are rendered as a character that looks like ϒ, but selecting it and copying the relevant text, copying, and pasting into another application yields the correct character. Also, mu (μ) is rendered as the proportional to symbol, ∝, but copies correctly as well. The same for the square root symbol, √, except it appears as a small script p, ℘. I would assume the problem is not limited to these characters. Steps to repeat: 1. Download and open http://www.ti.com/lit/gpn/ina217 in evince or okular What happens: '√Hz' and 'μV/°C' are displayed incorrectly, 'μV/°C' becoming '∝V/ϒC' and '√Hz' becoming '℘Hz'. What should happen: '√Hz' and 'μV/°C' are displayed as '√Hz' and 'μV/°C' uname -a: Linux alexforencich-eee 2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 16:20:31 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux evince: 2.28.1-0ubuntu1.2 libpoppler[5,-glib4,-qt2,-qt4-3] and poppler-utils: 0.12.0-0ubuntu2.1 okular: 4:4.3.5-0bubuntu1~karmic1 ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Feb 6 14:55:24 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/evince Package: evince 2.28.1-0ubuntu1.2 ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-17.54-generic SourcePackage: evince Uname: Linux 2.6.31-17-generic i686 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/518236/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
