Description Federico Muciaccia 2009-03-22 19:37:30 UTC
Version:           0.8.1 (using 4.2.1 (KDE 4.2.1), Arch Linux)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.28-ARCH

way to reproduce the bug:
* go to the archlinux wiki (I use konqueror) and save one page (a random topic) as a .pdf
* open it in okular
* you will notice that the document is corrupted, for example there are no occurrence of the "u" letter
* open the same document with anoter viewer (I used the GNOME evince)
* the document looks perfect (eg: the "u" letter is normally present)

Hi,

Okular does not render PDF documents by itself, but uses a 3rd party library
called Poppler.
You should please report the problem to the Poppler's bug tracking system at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org, "poppler" product.

Thank you for the report.
Comment 5 Federico Muciaccia 2009-03-30 23:05:27 UTC
Bug forwarded to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20955

@Pino Toscano:
I don't think that bugs should be closed as "RESOLVED as UPSTREAM" before a bug is effectively forwarded in the "upsteam" bugtracker.
Ok: this is not a bug of KDE, but affects KDE too, so be careful!
If I were a very lazy (or a very busy) user? (I'm not :-P)
Just think:
The bug is marked as RESOLVED, it can have hundreds of duplicates, but no one is working in fixing it!

Until a bug is fixed upstream the bug should be marked as "FORWARDED to ..." (like on Launchpad)

I'm surprised there isn't such option in the bug status (is there? I am blind?)

Should I fill a bug report for the KDE bugzilla?
A wish maybe?

Thanks.

I do, especially when they are not KDE issues.

If there will be the same problem reported again on KDE's bugzilla, it will be closed as duplicate of this one, no big deal.

Comparing with Launchpad is wrong.
KDE is not a distribution. It does not need to know the right versions of *all* the products to track for getting their latest version in the next release.

RESOLVED/UPSTREAM is the correct status for that, and we agreed upon that recently.
Comment 7 Federico Muciaccia 2009-04-05 22:09:34 UTC
This bug should now be fixed upstream: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freetype/freetype2.git/commit/?id=fbdf127904c26714ed69c2c1298c6eb7d564031e
It was a freetype2 bug.

For some reason freetype fails to render the character i've mailed the freetypedevels.
------- Comment #3 From Albert Astals Cid 2009-04-01 10:16:23 PST -------
As said, not our bug, a freetype one that has been fixed once i reported it,see http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freetype/freetype2.git/commit/id=fbdf127904c26714ed69c2c1298c6eb7d564031e

Should I change the status to RESOLVED as FIXED or leave it to RESOLVED as UPSTREAM now?
Does it make any difference?

"FIXED" means "the bug is our, and we fixed it".
Given that this is not the case, please don't change the status of this bug. Thanks.
