Ah, with both "gsfonts-x11" and "poppler-data" installed, the "Warning" messages go away. I think the .deb should suggest these two. Right now they are nowhere mentioned.
Through your links I came to this site suggesting the problem lies upstream: http://zinser.no-ip.info/vms/sw/notes/xpdf.htmlx "The following issues were reported by OpenVMS users of Xpdf. They are acknowledged by the author of Xpdf and should be resolved during the next couple of maintenance releases During startup of Xpdf the message Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-times-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct is displayed This message can be safely ignored. This particular font is used only inside of the "About" window of Xpdf. It will be replaced in there by a default font. The display of PDF documents is not affected at all by this. The solution will make the font settable via an Xresource. The same behaviour can be observed on Linux systems." But 3.02-9 fails to start with "Floating point exception" no matter what I try. Should I file a new bug on this? -- xpdf warnings "Cannot convert string * to type FontStruct" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/447604 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
