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

Support for AdobeReader on Linux ended more than 4 years ago. It would be better to use evince, atril or okular. -- Ian

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'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 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 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

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 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

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 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

In Centos 5.3, a bad problem has surfaced in user land. We want to use either Evince or Adobe acroread as the pdf view, but the update of kdegraphics has somehow screwed up these systems so that the odious, horrible, awful pdf viewer kghostview is used. It is what you get when you doubleclick on pdf files, it is what programs get when they try to use xdg-open framework. This happens even though

On centos 6, I've been trying to use LibreOffice to fill in entries of a PDF with fillable forms. In addition to all my other problems, the font size is stuck on 24. I can change it, but whenever I so much a take a deep breath, it's back to 24 again. How do I stop this? So far, all my searches have given me stuff about making fillable forms, but nothing about dealing with existing ones.

Adobe doesn't seem to have acroread for x86_64 linux, or at least I don't see it anywhere. Anybody know otherwise? Evince and other tools work pretty well, but I have always liked having the "real thing" around for those occasions when they don't. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- I can do all

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).

We've got this huge HP DesignJet Z9 printer, for printing posters. Except... I got the latest hplips installed, it knows this printer... but there are no poster-sized settings. Now, I've started hacking the .ppd, as I did six year ago for the old poster printer, but it seems, after a good bit of googling, that it would be easier, when I hit print from okular, and get the dialog window, to
