This is an update on this evince invisible vertical quotes problem. The answer from freedesktop seems to be that Wheezy needs newer libraries. The claim is that cairo is the main culprit, but they are using newer libpoppler as well. Please see the version chart here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59636#c4 Debian can solve by updating cairo to 1.12.8 and poppler to 0.20.5 or 0.22.0. I think the cairo update by itself might resolve the problem. Right now, Debian Wheezy offers: poppler 0.18.4-4 libcairo 1.12.2 This looks discouraging because cairo is sitting in the bottom of a big pile of dependencies. Am I right to be discouraged? I just checked other distributions. Fedora is just about up to date: Fedora 18: poppler 0.20.2 cairo 1.12.8 Centos 6.3 is, as you expect, older versions. Centos 6.3 release: poppler 12.4 cairo 1.8.8 -- Paul E. Johnson Professor, Political Science Assoc.
