Description Ulf Michel 2014-03-25 17:24:03 UTC
All occurences of "fl" in the text are not visible (and are not printed). However they can be searched for. It happens only for certain pdf documents.

Reproducible: Sometimes




acroread works fine
evince has the same problem
gimp has the same problem

pdf file that does not display letters fl
Comment 3 Yuri Chornoivan 2014-03-25 19:29:12 UTC
Looks fine here (with fl ligature).

Can you try to install Liberation fonts then open the file again?
Comment 4 Ulf Michel 2014-03-25 20:13:36 UTC
Lliberation-fonts were installed here. There was an option to install 
liberation2-fonts, which required deletion of liberation-fonts.
But the problem still persists with liberation2-fonts.

Which poppler version do you run?

Also please attach a screenshot of your file->properties->fonts dialog

And where's the screenshot i asked for?
Comment 8 Ulf Michel 2014-03-27 04:41:23 UTC
It is there (called "Bildschirmfoto1.png")
Comment 9 Albert Astals Cid 2014-03-27 18:30:12 UTC
Your font substitutions look really weird.

Do you have installed the package that provides the n021004l.pfb font file?

That should be ghostscript-fonts-std package btw.

Comment 12 Ulf Michel 2014-03-27 19:24:41 UTC
ghostscript-fonts-std (9.06-18.1) was installed and I reinstalled it without influence on the fl-problem.
Comment 13 Christoph Feck 2014-04-21 12:33:17 UTC
Albert, is there any more information you need from the bug reporter? Please set the bug status.
Comment 14 Albert Astals Cid 2014-04-21 13:42:30 UTC
Not much on our side besides his freetype is broken and choosing the wrong substitutions, i suggest Ulf to either uninstall the thing that provides texgyreheros-* files or to fix their freetype configuration so he gets a Helvetica compatible font when asking for an Helvetica font.

I'm tempted to mark this as wontfix but i'll leave it open just in case.
Comment 15 Ulf Michel 2014-04-21 15:22:28 UTC
Thank you for the hint. I uninstalled texlive-tex-gyre fonts, which rectified the problem. I do not know yet, what problems I am going to encounter now.
Comment 16 Albert Astals Cid 2014-05-08 10:58:28 UTC
User fontconfig configuration was returning a font without the fl ligature, not much we can do from our side.
