** Description changed:

- Certain format produces transparent text when viewing PDF on the screen.
- The text remains invisible even if formatted. The only way to get to see
- that text is to copy-paste it blindly into the text editor or the
- terminal. To reproduce, see for instance an O'Relly Book "Running Linux
- 4th Edition" which is available for download free of charge and is
- attached to this bug report for your convenience.
+ 1) lsb_release -rd
+ Description:	Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
+ Release:	15.04
  
- Scroll down to any page containing commands to be entered into the
- terminal on the command line. Any text after the command prompt is
- invisible. For instance, at the bottom of page 58 the "fdisk" command
- does not appear after the # (root prompt) on the command line.
- "swapon"command cannot be seen at the bottom of page 62 and so forth.
