Package: xpdf Version: xpdf-3.00-13 Here's a what seems to be a pretty hard nut to crack: On my amd64 system some documents (example: http://www.dnt.de/dl/58/SportyAdventur-eng-rgb.pdf) produce garbled output in xpdf-reader, evince and kpdf (3.4.1 from experimental) alike.
I cannot reproduce this problem with any PDF that is typeset with LaTeX, but with most fliers/leaflets/specs floating around on the web. Following discussion of the problem on debian-amd64, I got the attached additional feedback which might be helpful. If there's anything I can do to help tracking down the problem, please don't hesitate to ask. regards, Volker From: Larry Doolittle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Volker - I can reproduce your problem, but only on amd64. Using http://www.dnt.de/dl/58/SportyAdventur-eng-rgb.pdf xpdf-3.00-13 on amd64 (sid) shows garbled fonts. xpdf-3.00-13 on x86 (sarge) does not. xpdf-3.00-8ubuntu1.4 on x86 (Ubuntu) does not. So it's either a deeper library version problem, or xpdf on amd64 itself. My amd64/sid test used the Ubuntu machine as the X server, so it's probably not X's fault. - Larry Volker - > > I can reproduce your problem, but only on amd64. [chop] > thanks for the input! May I include your mail in my bug report? Of course, yes. It sounds like a hard bug to get started on. No crash stack traces to investigate. I'm rebuilding from source now... grrr... it crashed on a likely gcc-4.0 incompatibility. - Larry
