Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

Distro: Ubuntu 7.10 i386
Kernel: default
Printer: Epson Stylus DX6000

While I open with Evince a pdf file, I can see all the fonts good, but when I say to print there are many fonts that aren't good, like letters changed with others and so on. Why?

In Italian:
Quando apro con evince un file pdf, non noto problemi nella resa dei fonts, ma quando do il comando di stampare, sia nell'anteprima di stampa, sia nel foglio stampato noto che molte lettere sono scambiate (ad esempio Y al posto di k)...perchè?

Example of pdf file, <a href="http://www.thyresia.com/Public/data/NIWarge/20071220234414_Funstuff_codici.pdf">Codes_UrbanTerror</a>

Thanks for your bug submission. Document views correctly in acroread 8 and prints correctly under Gutsy. Document using evince 2.20.1 with poppler 0.6.2: views correctly on screen, but when in print preview, some letters are messed up. Instead of "viking" you get "viYing". It looks like the letter "k" gets substituted for "Y" throughout the document. What is shown in print preview then gets accurately printed on an HP Officejet7110. Definitely looks like an evince/poppler problem. Xpdf views the document and prints correctly.

Marking as confirmed.

Work around is to use xpdf or acroread

>sudo apt-get install xpdf acroread
