I observe this bug too, both in kpdf (hardy) and okular (intrepid). Rendering is especially bad for Cyrillic fonts in pdfs generated by TeX (I guess this is because these fonts are bitmapped) but the problem is visible with latin fonts too. This bug annoyed me for a long time and I spent some time investigating it (with KDE3 on hardy)
Rendering is good in Opensuse 10.3 and in Fedora 8. I narrowed the difference down to the file /usr/lib/kde3/libkpdfpart.so. Copying this file from Fedora to Ubuntu fixes the problem. I thought that the difference is due to compile-time options or patches but this is not the case. I compiled kdegraphics-3.5.10 (the upstream source with no patches) via 'configure && make' on the two systems. On Fedora, this compilation produced a good binary. On Ubuntu, it produced a bad binary. (The binaries were tested by copying the file libkpdfpart.so to the Ubuntu system and running kpdf, so it's not a matter of not having some library in the system). I am trying to investigate the issue futher. Does anyone know what can possibly cause this surprising effect? -- Poor font rendering in kpdf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48146 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
