Package: libfreetype6
Version: 2.1.10-1
Severity: important

As of a couple of weeks ago, most of the PDF files I try to view in
xpdf, evince, or gv either garble the text or display a blank page.
I see letters that appear to be latin characters, but they're all
drawn in the wrong place and no words are detectable.

Two PDF files which exhibit the problem are
http://online.wr.usgs.gov/calendar/jul05flyer.pdf (fairly short) or
http://geopubs.wr.usgs.gov/bulletin/b2195/b2195.pdf (quite long,
click on a random page from the middle, e.g. "Anorthosite").

A screenshot from the latter pdf is at:
http://shallowsky.com/tmp/xpdf-sid.jpg
(is it kosher to attach a screenshot in mail to the deb bug system?)

A sarge machine displays these PDFs correctly, but upgrading sarge
to the freetype version from sid causes the same problems I see in sid.
