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?
