"I have problems with the following pdf:
www.lacim.uqam.ca/~plouffe/OEIS/citations/MAS-R9821.pdf

When marking text some characters change. This happens on many places in this
pdf-file. To reproduce the bug just mark some random places in the pdf. In some
places the text disappears. In some the characters change totally. In others the
italics is removed.

I use the latest update of dapper. Evince 0.5.2

> Thank you for reporting this issue.

I can also reproduce it. I don't think that the different characters are really
different characters, just a different font. For example, the character ']'
(right square bracket) looks like the character '#' in the font cmmi10, and that
is the character that appears when it is highlighted."
