Description LuRan 2005-11-19 11:34:03 UTC

Version:           svn snapshot from 3.5 branch (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 4.0.2 with gentoo patches
OS:                Linux

When I use kpdf (or xpdf) to open this file: http://arxiv.org/pdf/gr-qc/0511089, it will give a lot of "Error: Bad bounding box in Type 3 glyph", and take a relatively long time to render the page, and the result is not very good. ghostview gives the best display. BTW, I notice that this kind of files are usually generated from ps files, don't know if it is relevant.

This seems to work fine here with KDE 3.5.2

Comment 2 Ismail Donmez 2006-05-07 18:14:29 UTC

This particular file looks fine, but I see same problem on http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2006/n1940.pdf

Using 'Print to file (PDF)' from kdiff3 and then reviewing the ~/print.pdf file produces a whole bunch of:

Error: Bad bounding box in Type 3 glyph
Error: Bad bounding box in Type 3 glyph
...

KPDF is no longer maintained. If you think this is still a problem in Okular (KDE 4 successor of KPDF), please open a bug against poppler (the library Okular uses to render PDF) in bugs.freedesktop.org

Thanks for using KDE
