The document in Okular in a system with installed Arial and Times New Roman fonts
That's because some missing fonts. Nothing to do here from Okular developers' side, imho.
Attached is a screenshot of Okular 0.16.60, Poppler 0.23.1, Mageia 3 with mscore-fonts installed.
I do think there's some bug in here (because i have the mscorettffonts installed and still can't see it), but the bug is not in okular, it's in poppler (the library we use to render pdf files). Alexander, can you please go to http://bugs.freedesktop.org/ and report a bug against poppler? I tried to confirm this bug with Evince, but it didn't work out: the document looks good in Evince 3.22.1. The bug is still there in Okular 1.1.3 (kde apps 17.04.3 on Gentoo). Have run strace to see which fonts these apps attempt to open, like this: strace evince 111.pdf 2>&1 | grep fonts > f.evince strace okular 111.pdf 2>&1 | grep fonts > f.okular See the results attached, the difference is - NotoSans-Regular, NotoSans-Italic for Evince, - DejaVuSans, DejaVuSans-Bold for Okular.

(In reply to Albert Astals Cid from comment #10) > Why do we care about what evince shows in an Okular bug? Okular and Evince both rely on poppler, that probably means the bug is not in poppler.

The popple maintainer disagrees with you, but he'll happily be proven wrong by a patch. |
