Description Thomas Mitterfellner 2011-06-18 21:14:02 UTC

Created attachment 61125 [details]
PDF file, which illustrates the "Find Small Caps Text Issue"

Version:           0.12.1 (using KDE 4.6.4) 
OS:                Linux

The find function does not find text which is in small capitals. See the PDF I've attached (created with pdflatex).


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Open attached pdf
2) Hit CTRL+F, type SmallCaps
3) Hit F3

Actual Results:  
Occurence 1) is found, after hitting F3 occurrence 3) is found. Occurrence 2), which is text rendered in small capitals, is skipped (excluded from the search results)

Expected Results:  
Any occurence of 'SmallCaps' should be found (i.e. three occurrences in the attached bug.pdf)

This might be an issue similar to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=181828

The problem lies in poppler, the library we use to handle pdf files so i'm closing the bug here. Please go to http://bugs.freedesktop.org and open a bug against the poppler component.
