Bug#695222: evince only shows garbage when displaying certain PDF documents

[Rogério Brito]

Package: evince
Version: 3.4.0-3.1
Severity: normal

Hi.

Evince (but not other poppler-based viewers, like the xpdf that is in
Debian) only show garbage when displaying certain documents.

In particular, if a LaTeX document generated by dvips happens to have T3
fonts and that document is converted to a PDF file via ps2pdf, then only
garbage can be seen on the screen.

Minimal working example attached. To compile the document, just do:

    latex test; dvips test; ps2pdf14 test.ps

and try to see the resulting PDF file with evince.


Regards,

Rogério Brito.
