Not a bug, if you do not get circles is because the PDF is using the ZapfDingbats font without embedding it. You probably don't have the ZapfDingbats font in your system and thus fontconfig just gives us the default font. As a solution either install the ZapfDingbats font or have a look at http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/poppler for how to setup a fontconfig font substitution rule for that font. Okay, I understand the problem, but why are Acrobat Reader (and Chrome btw.) rendering the graphics correctly, but not okular? Because they don't use fontconfig (are not really integrated linux apps) and because they ship their own private fonts not available to the rest of the system. I did not realize that this was a problem with fontconfig. Google helped me pretty quickly to find the right solution. I just had to add the following lines to ~/.font.conf
Thank you very much

Created attachment 57203 [details] pdf causing the error Version: 0.11.2 (using KDE 4.5.5) OS: Linux Hello, I have generated a diagram with R and displayed it in okular and acrobat reader. The diagram is displayed correctly in acroreader, but in okular there are letters instead of the circles that I want. If I convert the file with pdf2ps, okular shows the postscript file correclty. Reproducible: Always
