Package: release-notes
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Titles in PDF versions of the Jessie release notes are made of incorrect
characters. For example :
`QdkdÞrd Mnsdr enq CdahÞm 7 —idrrhd(... 21/ahs OB'
instead of :
`Release Notes for Debian 8 (jessie), 32-bit PC'
For this reason, the release notes cannot be used properly, although 
paragraphes have not this problem.

This happens only for PDF versions (not HTML or plain text ones).
This happens at least for English and French versions.
This happens for all architectures.
I have double checked with another computer and another PDF reader,
the problem is still there.

Thank you in advance.

Xavier

Julien's commit fixed the problem for the jessie release-notes, so I close
all the relevant bugs with this mail.

Beside this, the same bug has to be fixed in the trunk branch of 
release-notes as well, to make sure the problem does not re-occur after
the release of Stretch.
To keep track of this, and as a reminder, I have filed a new bugreport,
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=815691
