Hello list, I've spent all night trying to resolve this problem without any success. I'll keep it short and hopefully clear.
The following screenshot depicts the problem: http://ompldr.org/vN2V5Nw In words: At a certain zoom level (or range thereof), in this particular case approximately 80% to exactly 111% the text looks crisp, completely mis-antialiased and hinted. >From 111% to 112% the text suddenly becomes strong and clearly readable. Below approximately 80% the text also becomes better readable. The font in this document is embedded. You can find the document here: http://ompldr.org/vN2V2ag/edited.pdf Because it is embedded, changing Xft configuration does, provenly, have no effect on the rendering. I failed to find any solution. This has been tested by multiple people with multiple poppler-based pdf viewers. There is no clear pattern to under which circumstances (meaning configuration - though all people allegedly used the default configuration) and with which exact readers this happens. It has reportedly been working fine with ZATHURA and OKULAR. I do have the problem with ZATHURA and EPDFVIEW (could not try any other reader personally, yet). Any hints to how to resolve this problem would be greatly appreciated. If you require further information or I've forgotten to provide important info, please reply either to the list or directly and I'll submit the required info to the list. Thank you. _______________________________________________ poppler mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/poppler
