           Summary: when printing, words slant up the page
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: poppler-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Created an attachment (id=26394)

The PDF page generated by evince

I downloaded a 2.8 MB PDF from
http://www.firesifestes.com/Fires/F-Cirera-Sta-Col-Cervello.htm (no longer
available from the site, but I can sent it by email).  I opened the PDF in
evince and saved one of the pages as a PDF.  I then used pdftops to convert the
PDF page to a postscript page.  On the postscript page, the text slants upward
at about 45 degrees.  It seems like the WMode of the generated postscript font
is wrong and the position after each character shifts both right and up.
To reproduce:
Open the 2.8 MB file in evince and print page 18 to a PDF file.
$ evince Festa-cirera.pdf
Check that the page is OK.
$ evince output.pdf
Convert the page to postscript using pdftops from either xpdf or poppler.
$ pdftops output.pdf output-pdftopsbug.ps
View the postscript page.
$ gv output-pdftopsbug.ps
I will attach the single page PDF and ps and screen captures.
$ ls -ltr Festa-cirera.pdf output.pdf output.gif output-pdftopsbug.ps

I have Fedora 8, xpdf-3.02pl3, poppler-0.10.7, gs8.64, evince 2.20.2 (using
poppler 0.6.2 (cairo)).
