The pdf file which's umlauts cannot be printed
$ okular --version Qt: 4.8.6 KDE: 4.14.1 Okular: 0.20.0 + $ okular --version xxQt: 4.8.2 KDE Development Platform: 4.14.60 xxOkularxx: 0.20.60 xx Both versions of Okular build from sources print german Umlaute here. I have the same okular version: Qt: 4.8.6 KDE: 4.14.1 Okular: 0.20.0 (on Fedora 20.) Do you have a suspicion how this issue with this particular file may be caused? Might different installed fonts be the reason for it? Or the printer driver? (Which seems unlikely to me, as evince has the mentioned problem when creating PS files.) Any further help appreciated. ;-) update: It does print correctly if you enforce rasterization. As okular does not "remember" to enforce rasterization, I still would consider this a problem that should be adressed. (In reply to Peter from comment #4) > update: > It does print correctly if you enforce rasterization. > Force rasterization was not enabled, when I printed your attachment Does it show in the print preview? Yes the umlauts are visible in the print preview of okular. If you run this on the command line pdftops myfile.pdf gs myfile.ps do you see them umlauts? @Albert Where should you see umlauts? I just get to the gs shell when typing gs myfile.ps I am just a little bit confused how to use this. Sorry. ----------------------- Additional info: This bug does not happen with Ubuntu 14.10 and Debian testing, but it does occur in Fedora 20 and 21 Alpha. The umlauts are visible in the file created by pdftops, though. Well, gs myfile.ps should should a display with the document, no? Or you mean you don't know how to change page? I think it's with the enter. No, gs does not open any window.
However, I installed GNU gv.
When running it, it displays the following error:
Unknown device: x11
Unrecoverable error: syntaxerror in --nostringval--
Operand stack:
defaultdevice
Unrecoverable error: undefined in .uninstallpagedevice
Operand stack:
defaultdevice
Error: PostScript interpreter failed in main window.
It looks like gs on Fedora is built without X11 support.
I now tested it with Fedora 21. gs <file> shows the umlauts. Printing the file with okular does not print them. Also, I compiled pdttops 0.26.5 from source, added the bins to the PATH (so that pdftops -v showed it was 0.26.5), run okular and the umlauts were still missing in the printed file, If gs shows the umlauts, i'd say your printing drivers are wrong, the only thing we do is send that .ps file to the printer, from there it's not something we can control. Resolving according to comment #14. If you have new information, please add a comment. |
