I have this problem with a publicly available PDF: http://www.prasa.com/Documents/StockRenewal/5-1-MetrorailUserRequirementSpecification.pdf
but I don't get errors about "bad table definitions." Instead I see errors about being unable to load local fonts: Error: Cannot open '/home/lx/.fonts/arial.ttf' Error: failed to load truetype font some font thing failed ... Error: Cannot open '/home/lx/.fonts/arialbd.ttf' Error: failed to load truetype font some font thing failed $ ls -l /home/lx/.fonts/arial{,bd}.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 lx root 352224 2007-11-13 17:50 /home/lx/.fonts/arialbd.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 lx root 367112 2007-11-13 17:50 /home/lx/.fonts/arial.ttf Both fonts open as expected in the font viewer. The attached screen shot shows how the file renders. The UI itself reports no errors. ** Attachment added: "evince-text-not-visible.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/793122/+attachment/2624046/+files/evince-text-not-visible.png ** Changed in: evince (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/793122 Title: "some font thing failed", failed to load truetype font - important data silently left out To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/793122/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
