           Summary: Incorrect rendering of fonts
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: poppler-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: greg.grossmeier at gmail.com


Orignally opened on Launchpad:

================================
This file does not render correctly:

http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~jrobins/researchpapers/unpublishedpapers/jr_clientel.pdf

There are many rendering problems. For example, the "ff" glyphs is rendered as
a circle throughout.

I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 with all updates. I'm using the 0.6-0ubuntu2.1 version of
the libpoppler2 package.

The fonts are all poorly spaced in the linked document.
The last character on the first line should be an asterisk rather than a box.
The characters after "Robinson" and "Verdier" in the second line should be "1"
and "2" rather "x" and "y".
In the first footnote, Jeff Freiden's name is rendered as "Je* Feiden", where *
is some weird circle shape.
===================

I can confirm the problems in libpoppler2: 0.6.4-1 with one exception:  The
character in the first line that is a box for the reporter is now a character
similar to an asterisk but not an asterisk.

Sorry if this specific issues has been reported before.
