** Description changed:

  Hello,
- When i try to copy symbols from some pdfs they are displayed incorrectly. 
Examples of symbols (without the "): "(+-=[space] /" etc. Not all symbols are 
displayed wrong at the same time. Furthermore the pasted symbol is pasted as a 
different character for different pdfs for example copied symbol "=" is 
sometimes pasted as Z, while copied from other pdfs can be pasted as for 
example "¼" depending on the pdf.

  Operating system Ubuntu 8.04.1 32-bit
  Programs that have this problem: kpdf, evince, adobe acrobat reader.
  
  Showcase:
  1. Open the pdf with any of the pdf viewers mentioned above: 
http://www.zef.de/module/register/media/4c1e_TermitenAmazonas.pdf which is 
displayed correctly. I am sorry i couldnt find more pdf examples as the pdfs i 
have are copyrighted.
  2. Copy some text with symbols (e.g table 1). This does not happen only for 
tables.
  3. paste it in a document.
  4. notice the different display for some symbols.
  
  Also searching for example for the symbol "=" with the search function
  will not return all the "="s displayed (for example the ones from table
  1).
