[Bug 676798] Re: evince can't show some characters in some (probably old) pdfs

 

Note that xpdf's problem is not rending (not like evince). Its problem
is key lag. And only the version in Ubuntu repository has this problem.
The version (binary) downloaded from xpdf official site (
http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/ ) has not this problem.

To reproduce the problem, I have just reinstalled xpdf-reader from
synaptic. Synaptic shows the version is 3.02-2ubuntu1. This version
renders pdf well, but key lag problem still occurred.

To reproduce the key lag problem, one can try the pdf in my previous
post and zoom into 300% or 400%. Then quickly press arrow key, eg. right
arrow, many times, you will see document move lag much behind key
strokes. Then you can repeat same operations using "official" xpdf and
no lag would happen.
