Yes, I can still reproduce it after updating to evince 2.24.2-2+b1. Meanwhile, I found out that the offending font is 'CoBo' (presumably courier bold?) by looking at the pdf in vim: [...] /Type /Annot /Subtype /Widget /T (Adressfeld-Mail) /F 4 /BS << /Type /Border /W 1 /S /S >> /DA (/CoBo 12.80000 Tf 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 rg [...] CoBo itself does not seem to be defined anywhere, but I see /Type /Font /Subtype /Type1 /BaseFont /Courier-Bold (I'm no pdf expert, maybe it's ok to abbreviate font names? Or CoBo is defined as Courier-Bold by default?) The pdf was created using Scribus: /Producer (Libpdf for Scribus 1.3.3.4) And is available at http://www.tomodachi.de/html/marathon/AnT-Bring+Buy-AM2009.pdf ttf-liberation is installed, as is ttf-mscorefonts-installer (and the ms courier fonts are there in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts) -- Tobias PGP: http://9ac7e0bc.uguu.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
