I installed the evince from experimental, and see no change. The glyph for 'micro' is still rendering wrong... look at the capacitor values, they should look sort of like 'uF' but the first glyph shows up here as a sideways sort of squiggle that I don't recognize. > > Today, however, I stumbled over a document that evince fails to render in a > > much more dramatic and devastating way, that again both xpdf and acroread > > handle just fine: > > > > http://www.jst-mfg.com/product/pdf/eng/ePH.pdf > > > > In this datasheet for a JST 2mm connector series, all of the text for > > dimensions in the mechanical drawings, and most of the dimensional text in > > the tables, fails to render at all.

Nope, no change with evince from experimental and poppler-data 0.2.0-2 installed. Bdale -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
