Bug Description
Ubuntu Breezy 5.10/i386
Evince 0.4.0 using Poppler 0.4.2 (splash), as in the standard install
Xpdf 3.0.1
Problem: Fonts in PDF files look quite bad in Evince and Xpdf compared with the
*same* document viewed with the *same* versions of Evince and Xpdf in SUSE 10.0.
In particular, this seems to be a hinting problem.
Could it be because Ubuntu 5.10 uses Freetype-2.1.7? SUSE 2.10 uses Freetype-2.1.10.
I can provide screenshots comparing rendering in Ubuntu and Suse if necessary.
