Reproducible: Always

With respect to the sample document:

correctly working viewers on linux:

Mozilla pdf.js
masterpdfeditor
Foxit PDF reader for linux

Broken viewers on linux:

xpdf

so it may be a poppler bug inherited from xpdf.

However, Google PDFium fails on the test case too (although in a different way, i.e. not showing the quotes at all).

Hi!

This bug is due to the issues in poppler library which is used to render PDF in Okular. All poppler-based viewers (Okular, qpdfviewer, Evince) show the same image with wrong quotation marks.

Please report this bug against poppler here:

Thanks in advance for your work.
