Description Jacopo De Simoi 2008-11-17 05:51:40 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

Opening some pdf files, okular incorrectly renders the font (seems like all boldface, but it also behave inconsistently when zooming). Apparently poppler works fine (at least xpdf opens it correctly with no zoom issues). 

Steps to reproduce:
 Open the attached pdf file

Okular does not render the document by itself, but uses the Poppler library for this.
For this reason, you should please report the problem to the poppler bug tracking system (https://bugs.freedesktop.org, "poppler" product).

Ah, and please state what is the version of your poppler-qt4 library: I cannot reproduce the problem with either poppler 0.8.7 or 0.10.x.

xpdf does not use poppler.

poppler and poppler-qt4 versions are both 0.10.1

whoops, I was giving it for granted since xpdf depends on poppler (at least here on gentoo), anyways epdfview screws the file up as well. It might well be a fontconfig issue. 
Anyways the relevant bug for poppler (for those who might find it useful) is:

Sorry for wasting your time. Thanks for the good work.
