Public bug reported: When using evince/okular to display a PDF file, all degree signs (°) are rendered as a character that looks like ϒ, but selecting it and copying the relevant text, copying, and pasting into another application yields the correct character. Also, mu (μ) is rendered as the proportional to symbol, ∝, but copies correctly as well. The same for the square root symbol, √, except it appears as a small script p, ℘. I would assume the problem is not limited to these characters.
Steps to repeat: 1. Download and open http://www.ti.com/lit/gpn/ina217 in evince or okular What happens: '√Hz' and 'μV/°C' are displayed incorrectly, 'μV/°C' becoming '∝V/ϒC' and '√Hz' becoming '℘Hz'. What should happen: '√Hz' and 'μV/°C' are displayed as '√Hz' and 'μV/°C' uname -a: Linux alexforencich-eee 2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 16:20:31 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux evince: 2.28.1-0ubuntu1.2 libpoppler[5,-glib4,-qt2,-qt4-3] and poppler-utils: 0.12.0-0ubuntu2.1 okular: 4:4.3.5-0bubuntu1~karmic1 ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Feb 6 14:55:24 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/evince Package: evince 2.28.1-0ubuntu1.2 ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-17.54-generic SourcePackage: evince Uname: Linux 2.6.31-17-generic i686 ** Affects: poppler (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 -- Evince/Okular displays incorrect characters https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/518236 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
