Looks fine with xpdf Version: 3.00-13 running on amd64, using
the X display on a intel pentium.  The X display used shouldn't
make a difference - font problems in X will likely affect
other apps using the same fonts too.

 Hi,

 as of recently I have experienced serious (read: undecipherable output)
 display bugs when trying to view certain PDF documents (i.e.
 http://www.dnt.de/dl/58/SportyAdventur-eng-rgb.pdf). in xpdf-based viewers
 (xpdf-reader, evince, kpdf).

Displayed without glitch with xpdf (3.00-13) and kpdf (3.3.2-2) on my amd64 
sarge box.

Could it be caused by some missing fonts (wrong font substitution)?

Volker filed a bug #317708 which has now been reassigned to libfreetype6

An extract from the bug correspondence:

'Replacing libfreetype6 with 2.1.7-2.4 on debian sid
 makes the problem disappear.'

Looks perfectly fine here, with sarge+ubuntu and X.org 6.8.2 with ATI
binary driver.

Although, gv seems to screw it up, as does kghostview. gs itself is fine.

So there is indeed something broken.

amd64-specific bug in XPDF based programs?

2005-07-10 Thread Volker Schlecht

Is this something that might be related to amd64 (I haven't found any related 
bug reports in either xpdf, evince or kpdf yet) or should I bother the 
packagers directly?

I had no trouble with other documents so far, but that one looks garbled

Hi,
No problem with this specific pdf (debian-amd64, sid, 2.6.11 kernel), however 
I've had xpdf run up to 99%cpu and stay there with the July 2005 issue of TUX 
Magazine, found at http://tuxmagazine.com- I can read the first 3 pages, 
then it fails has to be killed.  

Kpdf, on the other hand, can read it perfectly, cover to cover.

Volker submitted bug #317708 as above.

I'm running amd64 as my primary machine now so I just joined this list.

I see corrupted text in the PDF mentioned in the bug report.
However I see the same in xpdf on i386 too. My three scenarios:

1. amd64 xpdf, amd64 X server
2. i386 xpdf (in chroot on amd64), amd64 X server
3. i386 xpdf (native), on a Windows X server

All of these seem to corrupt the text.

I forwarded the report upstream but it would be useful to have others
confirm my observation.
