Description
Created attachment 126972 Test case
In some documents, Okular and other poppler based PDF readers mismanage the fonts, printing incorrect chars for non ascii chars.
This is always reproducible on documents that present the issue.
Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the attached document with okular or evince 2. Reopen it with some other non-poppler based pdf viewer 3. Check the double quotes in the two cases
Notes:
-
Also xpdf shows the issue, meaning that the bug is probably inherited from there
-
Also google PDFium has issues with the test document, but different ones (the quotes are not shown at all)
-
Linux PDF readers that work fine on the document are Mozilla pdf.js, Acrobat acroread, Masterpdfeditor, Foxit reader
