PDF isn't displayed correct

[Christoph Langner]

Binary package hint: evince

I'm not sure if this is a new bug, cause there a couple of "evince dosne't display pdf's right" bugs out there. But take a look at this pdf

http://www.wettpunkt.com/wettpunkt/sport/Quotenblatt/quotenblatt.pdf

The font is compressed, so that you can't read the text. Adobe Reader displays the pdf correct.

$ dpkg -l evince

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Triaged to Confirmed. This is similar to several other evince bug reports related to font kerning and font substitution. It shows up on my gutsy install with mashed fonts. I don't have Microsoft fonts installed. Acroread 8 displays correctly.

Confirmed still a problem on Hardy 2.21.91-0ubuntu1
