hello, I can confirm your observation! the following applications have the same behaviour: evince, xpdf and pdftotext. they all translate the text: "particle size between 200-500 µm before" into: "particle size between 200–500 mm before"

when cutting and pasting from evince to a terminal the process is translating a "um" into a "mm" which is a signifcant change for a technical document. the source document used was downloaded from: "http://www.nature.com/srep/2013/130425/srep01732/pdf/srep01732.pdf"; search for the phrase "particle size between 200–500 um" and copy and paste it to any text terminal, vi'd document, or even LibreOffice doc. all do the same thing and translate it from um to mm. so if someone can replicate this it would help. if not, then i'd be stumped because i have no familiarity with cut and paste underpinnings... thanks much, songbird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
