Hello, I'm getting a crash with acroread on my CentOS7 (AdobeReader_enu-9.5.5-1.i486). I install the official rpms from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/, tried 9.5.5, and former v9, v8, v7. /usr/bin/acroread loads well, but when you click a menu, bang. Same if you start acroread w/ a .pdf filename in parameter, the window opens up then crashes. I modified the acroread script to

Hi I am having problems with the rendering of scientific symbols (mu and degree) in my plots. Whenever I use these symbols they are rendered changed (mu is changed to the proportionality symbol and degree is changed to something resembling a gamma) in the X-device. If I make a pdf of the plot and open the file in Evince or Okular symbols are also rendered wrong, however if I open the file

HI I?aki,? That's interesting.? I may be wrong but I think it's the Symbol font that's got the substitution bug, not Helvetica.? ? fc-match "Symbol" StandardSymbolsPS.t1: "Standard Symbols PS" "Regular" Is what I get, but then in the Evince properties it's telling me that it's substituting Symbol with "Noto Sans Regular", despite the

Martin, I wouldn't rule out an R issue yet. Fonts are... tricky. So I'm cc'ing Paul Murrell here. I tried several viewers here and I see the following: Chrome, Firefox and Libreoffice Draw show the symbols; however, evince, okular and xournal++ agree on **not** showing the symbols. **If** there is a bug, the bug would be in fontconfig, because these ones AFAIK properly delegate on

I can not see how this could be a xen and/or amd64 problem but the evendence seem to point to it. I''m running ltsp under xen 3.4.2 64 bit dom0 on 5 servers. Noticed that on some systems that acroread always crashes when opening a pdf with a fillable form. I see no error messages anywere. Some domu are 32bit debian etch using pygrub. Some domu are 64 bit debian lenny using

Hi, I recently installed CentOS 7 + KDE 4.14 on my main workstation, and overall I'm very happy with it. Okular seems to have trouble with some PDF files. I'm using the Dolibarr application to generate invoices. I can view the resulting PDF file OK, but when I try to print it, I get a blank page. A few days ago I had a similar problem with a PDF file generated from a french

Hi I don't think this is an R issue (it is separate from the Cairo Symbol font problem). For PDF output, R actually relies on the Symbol font having the Adobe Symbol Encoding (Appendix D of the PDF Reference https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/pdfstandards/pdfreference1.7old.pdf) and just outputs the font as "Symbol", which relies on it being one of the Standard

Hi Martin and Tim, I also have this bug. Though I think not necessarily with all the same fonts as Martin. Using Martin's code: https://imgur.com/a/ILUoe3H Fedora 39, Evince 45.0 It's a bug with Evince. I think. I think it's substituting in a font set that doesn't have all the required symbols. I think it should be possible to install the required fonts, but I haven't

I see. Peter, you are right about the font that causes the issue. Paul, thanks for your insights. I'll bring this to the Fedora font experts to see if we can arrive at a more permanent fix. I'll report back with any conclusion. @Martin: Meanwhile, at least you have options. One is to embed the fonts, either as Peter suggested or using cairo_pdf instead. Alternatively, Peter also has shown

Hi, I'm looking for a usable PDF viewer with CentOS 4.3. On my previous install (Slack running XFCE with a handful of GNOME libs), I used Evince, which is just great. Looks like this is an Achilles' heel in CentOS, as I tested three available PDF viewers (ggv, gsview, acroread) with various PDF documents downloaded from the internet (which all display perfectly with Evince): either the

Hi, I just installed the OpenVAS vulnerability scanner on my CentOS 7 workstation. Everything seems to work fine, except PDF generation. The 'openvas-check-setup' script tells me that PDF generation works fine, but whenever I want to generate a report, the result is unusable and can't open in Evince or Okular. After googling a bit, I found out that several users complained that Tex

Hi, When qqnorm on a vector of length 10M+ I get a huge pdf file which cannot be loaded by acroread or evince. Any suggestions? (apart from sampling the data).

is there something other than evince on centos 5.1 to view pdf's? Every time I am remoted in using vncviewer and look at attached emails it KILLS my X11 session. If I am at my desktop it works fine. xpdf used to work fine on 4.X - but it was removed in 5.X. Is there an alternative? Thanks, Jerry

Hello, I am running Wine with Ubuntu 10.04 on a Toshiba Laptop. I installed Wine using the Ubuntu Software Center and am using 1.1.42. I have 'installed' Adobe Reader, Firefox, IE 8 and Business Plan Pro from Palo Alto Software. Firefox will start and run, IE 8 will not fully execute, Adobe Reader gives an error for Wine C++ Runtime error and Biz Plan Pro gives an Active X error 429.

I have a Xerox Phaser 3250 printer It worked perfectly under Centos 6 when I told cups that it was a Xerox Phaser 3150. It works under Centos 7, too. I can print pdf files from evince and whatnot with no problems, and printing one, two or three copies of a document from libreoffice works as well. However, if I tell libreoffice to print four copies of a document ("number of copies"
