Evince 12.10 Ultra small fonts in MasterCard pdf statements

[Pierre]

Since upgrade to 12.10, my MasterCard statements are unreadable with Evince. The font seems to be there but ultra small and totally unreadable. Statements before upgrade were ok but since upgrade, they are also unreadable. Other pdfs seem to be ok. But Evince is no longer compatible with some of them.

Thank you for your bug report, likely a poppler or cairo issue ... it would be great if somebody having access to a such pdf could open an upstream bug on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=poppler

PS: I cannot provide the statement itself for privacy reasons, but I can look at some of the properties if somebody can guide me into how to do it and what to look for.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I also have this problem. Converting the file to ps with pdf2ps allows me to view it successfully. I've attached a portion of the broken document which doesn't contain any personal info.

@Matthew: thanks, is there any rendering issue with that example? Could you attach a screenshot showing the problem? The text seems to be normally rendered here

Here is a screenshot made on 12.04, including an open About (with the versions numbers)

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The issue seems fixed in the current version of Ubuntu (13.10), can somebody confirm that? If that's the case we would need to find the fix to backport it to the LTS serie

[madbiologist (me-again)]

Yep, definitely fixed on Ubuntu 14.04 "Trusty Tahr".
