Printing the same document from Okular does not result in missing hyphens. The big can be reproduced without printing using pdftocairo: > echo > "\documentclass{article}\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}\begin{document}a-b---\end{document}" > | pdflatex > pdftocairo -pdf article.pdf out.pdf If you open article.pdf (in Evince or in Okular), you will see a hyphen and a long dash. If you open out.pdf instead, the dash is missing. This bug has been observed already in other places: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=810617 http://superuser.com/questions/969987/how-to-prevent-missing-hyphens-when-printing-pdf-from-evince I am running an up-to-date Ubuntu 15.10 on AMD64 with libpoppler52:amd64 0.33.0-0ubuntu3 and evince 3.16.1-0ubuntu1.

The test.pdf document from https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=810617 looks similar to bug 89082 for fonts using glyph 0, but for type3/user fonts instead of truetype fonts. cairo's pdf and ps output are missing the hypen.

However, I cannot reproduce it using Arch though both use the same version of libcairo2 (1.14.6-1) and pdftocairo (0.41.0). Earlier this year, a colleague observed this bug when printing from Arch, too. So, it seems as some recent changes fixed it there; although I don't know what exactly. Let me know if you need further information.

I tried the naive approach (just applying the single patch), but the surface->target->is_vector member is absent there.

According to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94615, the bug is in version 1.14 of cairo. The bug was fixed last year in version 1.15 (see https://cgit.freedesktop.org/cairo/commit/?id=190678f6444ad879847d603c3c9eaf8e9ab6887a). I've backported the above patch in Ubuntu 16.04 xenial, and it fixes the bug. To reproduce the bug (see attached test files) in Ububtu 16.04 (with libcairo2 1.14.6-1): 1. Create a LaTeX test document (test.tex) with the following content: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \begin{document} a-b--- \end{document} 2. Create a test.pdf from test.tex: pdflatex test.tex 3. Create a cairo pdf output (or print test.pdf on a printer, using Evince): pdftocairo test.pdf -pdf test1.pdf Open test1.pdf with Evince: as you can see, some of the hyphen signs have disappeared. To fix the bug, rebuild the cairo deb packages with the attached patch, install the packages and do (or print test.pdf on a printer, using Evince): pdftocairo test.pdf -pdf test2.pdf Now, open test2.pdf with Evince: there is no more missing hyphen sign.
