Description gabriele monfardini 2009-11-07 18:32:57 UTC

Version:           0.9.3 (using KDE 4.3.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

In this pdf

http://www.ams.org/bull/2002-39-01/S0273-0979-01-00923-5/S0273-0979-01-00923-5.pdf

there is a section (Chapter III section 6) that contains special chars (as Greek symbol gamma) in the title.

This item is incorrectly displayed as 

On the minimizer of Ez(f) +"026B30D f"026B30D K2

It is instead correctly displayed in the main panel.
To be noted that also Ez is incorrect since it should be a Greek E with z as a subscript

As far as i can understand what you mean Adobe Reader shows it the same way, can you prove it's the pdf viewer at fault and not the pdf file itself?

Looks the same in acroread as in okular to me.

@Albert Astals Cid
I haven't tried with Adobe Reader.

The title is shown correctly in the mail panel. The left panel, I suppose, only lists the titles of the sections (so it is reading the same text).
So if the title is shown correctly in the mail panel, why don't show it correctly also in the content panel?

Btw xpdf has exactly the same behaviour, the title is correct in the text but not in the left content panel.

So I cannot exclude the pdf file is not wrong, even if I think that is not.

Please understand that the heading on the summary panel isn't the same heading as shown on the page. They come from different sources in the file.

Can you explain why you think the file is not wrong?

Ok. I didn't know that.
So, given the fact that all pdf readers read the summary in the same way, the file appears indeed to be wrong. It's ok for me to close the (not a) bug.

Thanks all for the quick replies

Closing per op recommendation.
