Version: (using KDE 4.1.2) Installed from: SuSE RPMs I created a simple LaTeX document using the default Computer Modern fonts. When viewing the resulting DVI in Okular, the thumbnail preview is full of big red boxes. (See attached screenshot.) The bug does not occur when using PostScript fonts (e.g., by specifying \usepackage{times} in the LaTeX document). It also doesn't occur when viewing PostScript or PDF representations of the document. The problem may be related to the font encoding. I'm attaching the original LaTeX file and DVI.
Created attachment 27873 [details] LaTeX file whose DVI causes problems for okular
Created attachment 27874 [details] DVI file which okular renders with red boxes
Created attachment 27875 [details] Screenshot showing red boxes
Upon further study, I have further narrowed down the cause of the problem: The red boxes appear wherever there is a period character (.) when using Computer Modern fonts with certain font encodings. Here is a minimal example: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \begin{document} . \end{document} Add more periods to get more red boxes. The following font encodings produce red boxes: T1 T2A T2B T2C TS1 X2 The following font encodings do not produce red boxes (at least, not for the . character): IL2 LCY LGR LMC LO1 LY1 OML OMS OT1 OT2 OT4 T2D T3 T4 TS3
*** Bug 201576 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Problem seems to have been fixed in Okular 0.10.1 (KDE 4.4.1).
Please re-open as this bug is back for me using the above test file and okular-4.11.3-1.fc19.x86_64

(In reply to comment #7) > Please re-open as this bug is back for me using the above test file and > okular-4.11.3-1.fc19.x86_64 I'm confused. Now, just 1hr later, I don't see them any more on the same file... I'll will try to narrow it down.
