Package: xpdf
Version: 3.03-17+local1
Severity: normal

xpdf -font (or -fn) doesn't work with font names that don't start
with a dash. For instance:

zira:~> xpdf -fn fixed
error: "fixed" file not found

It seems to be a bug in the Debian wrapper, which assumes that -fn
doesn't take an argument, thus "fixed" is regarded as a filename.
No such problem with "xpdf.real".

Note: This was just an example for testing. I was wondering why
"xpdf -fn -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--" wasn't working, then
I tried "xpdf -fn fixed", which didn't work either. I was really
confused, but then I found out that these failures were due to two
different bugs! The former is due to a bug in the zsh completion
(-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal-- produced by zsh completion isn't
a valid font name). The latter is this bug in the xpdf wrapper.

The goal is to increase the font size of the UI for high-dpi screens.
