[Bug 286774] Re: cannot see text, only line art

 

...okay, unable to change the importance.

After running Evince via the terminal, I see these errors repeatedly:

$ evince 5-1-MetrorailUserRequirementSpecification.pdf
Error: Cannot open '/home/lx/.fonts/arial.ttf'
Error: failed to load truetype font

some font thing failed
...
Error: Cannot open '/home/lx/.fonts/arialbd.ttf'
Error: failed to load truetype font

some font thing failed

Both of these fonts appear to have appropriate permissions:

$ ls -l /home/lx/.fonts/arial{,bd}.ttf
-rw-r--r-- 1 lx root 352224 2007-11-13 17:50 /home/lx/.fonts/arialbd.ttf
-rw-r--r-- 1 lx root 367112 2007-11-13 17:50 /home/lx/.fonts/arial.ttf

Title:
  cannot see text, only line art

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  Sometimes when I open a pdf the text is completely missing. I can
  highlight sections where text should be, but the text itself does not
  display (white on white?). I can copy the highlighted text, and it
  pastes properly into other programs, but I cannot view it in Evince.
