Bug#858270: xpdf: debian's xpdf fails to render text in graphics while upstream version works
Package: xpdf
Version: 3.04-4
Severity: normal
Hi,
The pdf file [1] does not render properly with the debian version of xpdf.
This is not the only file I have experienced this. I stumble over such an
issue every couple of months.
Debians's xpdf prints lots of errors like this:
Syntax Error (28001): No font in show
Syntax Error: Unknown font tag 'R35'
Syntax Error (28391): No font in show/space
Syntax Error: Unknown font tag 'R31'
Syntax Error (29447): No font in show/space
Syntax Error (29542): No font in show/space
Syntax Error: Unknown font tag 'R35'
At the same time, xpdf compiled from the upstream sources works fine.
