printed PDF document (via evince) misses characters/ligatures

[Daniel Oehry]

The attached test.pdf is not printed correctly with evince. Some characters (ff-ligature, alpha) are missing.
Simply using lpr test.pdf prints just fine.

I think, it could be the bug reported (and fixed) here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53040

I am working with the latest packages from Ubuntu 12.04:
evince 3.6.0-0ubuntu2
libcairo2 1.12.2-1ubuntu2.2

Created attachment 65030
first page printed as pdf in evince

After applying fixes from latest git I still have a problematic document which is missing characters when printed as pdf or on paper using evince.

problematic document can be downloaded here:
https://www.mi.fu-berlin.de/wiki/pub/ABI/Lecture13Materials/Unit5Lecture2.pdf

First page printed with evince as PDF is attached and misses "ff" in the first heading.

I currently use:
cairo latest git 5dd0f2eb9 (1.12.2 + 127 commits)
pixman latest git g1dcca0f (0.27.x)
poppler 0.20.2
evince 3.5.4

I don't know if this is still cairo related or if I just miss something else. All fonts are embedded. So please try to reproduce and let me know what else I can provide.

Downgrading to cairo 1.10 did not seem to fix the issue this time.

best, marius..

Targetting precise but I can't confirm the bug on a precise installation here (printing to a file from evince)

Thanks, I can't confirm that on a precise vm here for some reason...

The Precise Pangolin has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release
