[Bug 1412916] Re: evince: Bad PDF rendering: invalid font scale

 

I installed and tested all packages (libpoppler-glib8, libpoppler-qt5-1,
libpoppler44 and poppler-utils ) from the new patched v0.24.5-2ubuntu4.3
poppler in the proposed repo. They're verified to work properly on
Ubuntu 14.04LTS "Trusty Tahr" and renders the sample pdf file without
error.

Title:
  evince: Bad PDF rendering: invalid font scale

Status in Poppler:
  Fix Released
Status in poppler package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in poppler source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  * Many PDFs do not display correctly, including the boarding passes from a
    major European airline.

  * Printing a boarding pass is a common simple task which users expect to
    work, and therefore should be fixed in the stable release.

  * See upstream bug report for discussion about the mechanism of the
  fix.

  [Test Case]

  * Attempt to view the test case in the linked upstream bug using 'evince
    attachment.pdf'.

  * Observe corrupted text displayed.

  [Regression Potential]

  * Theoretically, other PDFs which currently display correctly could be
  displayed incorrectly after this change, but is intended to emulate
  acroread, so this is unlikely.

  * Patch has been reviewed and committed upstream, so should be safe.
