[Bug 53452] Re: Nautilus generates missfont.log while generating PDF thumbnails in opened folder
That's likely due to one of the tools called by evince and not due to evince itself ** Changed in: evince (Ubuntu) Status: Needs Info => Confirmed ** Summary changed: - Nautilus generates missfont.log while generating PDF thumbnails in opened folder + missfont.log created when opening a dvi without tetex-bin installed -- missfont.log created when opening a dvi without tetex-bin installed https://launchpad.net/bugs/53452 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 53452] Re: Nautilus generates missfont.log while generating PDF thumbnails in opened folder
It turned out that *not* .pdf, but .dvi files cause the missfont.log file to appear in the user's home folder while (? evince-thumbnailer) was trying to create a thumbnail. In search for more example .dvi files I downloaded the AUCTeX manual[1] that also generates the mentioned .log file and (to my suprise) couldn't[2] be opened by evince.

Just after posting the above statement, that evince-thumbnailer doesn't generate thumbnails for .dvi files, I noticed that such thumbnails are generated *indeed*!

[Bug 53452] Re: Nautilus generates missfont.log while generating PDF thumbnails in opened folder
The problem (missfont.log and problems opening .dvi files with evince) was solved after I installed tetex-base, tetex-bin, and tetex-extra (as suggested in the comments for Bug #42410). However evince-thumbnailer still does not generate a thumbnail for .dvi files, but I can live with that:) -- Nautilus generates missfont.log while generating PDF thumbnails in opened folder https://launchpad.net/bugs/53452 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I use Dapper Drake (6.06 LTS), and the file in question contains some references to kpathsea and some of the Computer Modern fonts, although I haven't installed (La)TeX at all. -- Nautilus generates missfont.log while generating PDF thumbnails in opened folder https://launchpad.net/bugs/53452 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I grepped through the sources (of poppler and evince) and couldn't find anything of the sort.

Thanks for your bug. That's evince which does the pdf thumbnailing, reassigning. What version of Ubuntu do you use? Does it happen with any .pdf?
