[Bug 506859] Re: Evince renders document with poor font quality despite font system-wide settings set to subpixel rendering
I have found another example PDF that renders very poorly: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/arvindn/misc/knuth_song_complexity.pdf In this case, selected text is readable and rendered smoothly and fine. Selecting text, though, selects also entire paragraphs for the adjacent text column (which prevents from doing effective copy and paste elsewhere). -- Evince renders document with poor font quality despite font system-wide settings set to subpixel rendering https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/506859 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 80921 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/80921 By the way, your example document consist of scanned pages. There is no way to apply subpixel rendering to images. And the selection effect is caused by the normally invisible OCR layer. These journals simply scan the old issues and run OCR over them to make their archive searchable. ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 80921 No subpixel rendering -- Evince renders document with poor font quality despite font system-wide settings set to subpixel rendering https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/506859 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 80921 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/80921 It is probably a good scan, but there’s unfortunately another bug in Poppler that scales grayscale and bitonal images poorly.
