Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evince
I noticed that a PDF file I received from my accountant was surprisingly
missing some important data when viewed in Evince, so I started Evince
from the command line. I got an almost endless number of error messages:
Error: PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
Error: Found a bad table definition on true type definition, trying to
continue...
Error: Found a bad table definition on true type definition, trying to
continue...
Error: failed to load truetype font
some font thing failed
Error: Found a bad table definition on true type definition, trying to
continue...
Error: Found a bad table definition on true type definition, trying to
continue...
Error: failed to load truetype font
I must say I'm utterly disgusted with Evince not displaying anything at
all when encountering a font problem. Why not fall back to an existing
font instead of silently suppressing the error?
