           Summary: Some letters not visible in "fontspec manual"
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://ftp.ctan.org/tex-
                    archive/macros/xetex/latex/fontspec/fontspec.pdf
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: poppler-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: kas at fi.muni.cz


In manual of the TeX package "fontspec", available at
http://ftp.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/xetex/latex/fontspec/fontspec.pdf, some
parts of the text are not visible both when the PDF file is displayed directly
in evince, or when it is converted to PostScript using "pdftops" and displayed
in evince as PostScript.

The letters are missing not only as glyphs, but I also cannot select them in
evince using mouse: when I select e.g. the whole paragraph and paste it to the
different window, only the letters which were actually displayed are pasted.

When converted to PostScript using "pdf2ps" rather than "pdftops", all the
letters in the document are displayed correctly. So I guess it is a bug in
poppler rather than evince.

The letters which are not displayed are all letters from the code examples (the
monospace font). Example: the third page (numbered "2", section "1.
Introduction") - the contents of the parenthesis in the first paragraph is
missing except commas, and the code example in "1.1 Usage" is missing
altogether.
I can attach screenshots if requested.

My system is Fedora 12, x86_64, with the following poppler version:

poppler-0.12.2-1.fc12.x86_64
poppler-utils-0.12.2-1.fc12.x86_64
