PDF Test Case
As reported in <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710777">https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710777</a>:
--------------------------------------------------------
Some PDFs embedding the free Charter Type 1 font
(<a href="http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/charter/">http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/charter/</a>) are not printed correctly and
are not displayed correctly in the print preview opened from Evince. In
particular, the problems are:
Printing:
1. The dots over German umlauts are missing.
2. Certain letters (for example, all bold 'M' or all bold 'r' in the document)
are replaced by two small dots.
3. Sometimes, the whole text typeset in the regular Charter font (non-bold,
non-italic) is printed in a different font (which looks like Times to my eyes).
Print preview:
4. German umlauts are not visible.
5. Sometimes, the previewer simply crashes.
The normal display in Evince is not affected.
All documents I have tested are displayed and printed correctly by xpdf,
Ghostscript, Acrobat Reader on Win7, and Apple Preview on OSX.
I have not observed such problems with PDFs using other embedded Type 1 fonts
(among others, I tested URW Palladio L and Latin Modern).
The bug seems to be somehow triggered by documents containing accented
characters, such as German umlauts. It's not easy to see, though, what exactly
triggers it. I have created a small test document, which exhibits problems 1.
and 4.; it is available at:
<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxyCjvRCPNawM2dsUW9kZUQycFE/edit?usp=sharing">https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxyCjvRCPNawM2dsUW9kZUQycFE/edit?usp=sharing</a>
Small changes in the documents can make the problems appear or disappear. For
example, in above document, when I delete the quotation marks around the first
line of text or add quotation marks around the second line of text, Evince
prints the resulting document correctly. This makes it difficult to create
small test documents exhibiting all cited problems (I'm sorry, but I can't
share the original documents).
I don't know exactly how printing is done in Evince, but since xpdf and
Ghostscript have no problems with these documents, I suspect that this is a bug
in Cairo.
