doktor5000, lmenut, luigiwalser, mageia I can agree with the chase bank problem. Sub-heading contents are the same color as the background and are invisible. I was able to search for the text string shown by evince and find them. I believe Sep-2015 was the last chase pdf I could read. CC:

marja11 In fact, I have no idea if it can be the culprit. But if someone gives a buggy file, I can try different librsvg versions to see if it changes anything. Keywords:

NEEDINFO Created attachment 7480 [details] xz-compressed, cleaned PDF invoice showing ugly/pixellated fonts in okular, looking fine in e.g. evince (In reply to José Jorge from comment #4) > In fact, I have no idea if it can be the culprit. But if someone gives a > buggy file, I can try different librsvg versions to see if it changes > anything. Until now the known cases where this occured are only with invoices or credit card statements, which might be difficult to anonymize and which might also change the PDF. I've tried with one of my invoices using scribus and removed all personal information, now all the text looks ugly and pixellated in okular. Before that it was mostly the really small text that looked normal, most of the rest was ugly and pixellated. In evince it still looks perfectly fine though, so it could be used as a test case. pdffonts from xpdf shows the following fonts for the original PDF: name type encoding emb sub uni object ID ------------------------------------ ----------------- ---------------- --- --- --- --------- Humnst777BT TrueType WinAnsi yes no no 16 0 Helvetica Type 1 WinAnsi no no no 6 0 Humnst777BT TrueType WinAnsi yes no no 12 0 Also tried with "strings original.pdf | grep FontName" and this shows: 13 0 obj<</CapHeight 699/FontBBox[-134 -235 1229 970]/Type/FontDescriptor/FontFile2 2 0 R/Descent -240/StemV 80/Flags 32/Ascent 759/FontName/Humanist777BT-RomanB/ItalicAngle 0>> 17 0 obj<</FontBBox[-134 -235 1229 970]/CapHeight 699/Type/FontDescriptor/FontFile2 3 0 R/StemV 80/Descent -240/Flags 32/FontName/Humanist777BT-RomanB/Ascent 759/ItalicAngle 0>> Already tested after downgrading librsvg via "urpmi --downgrade lib64rsvg2_2-2.40.7-2.mga5.x86_64 lib64rsvg2-devel-2.40.7-2.mga5.x86_64" and there's no change. From what I read okular uses Qt4 libraries to display fonts, and there we didn't have any update for mga5.

Could you please try in another MGA5 install or VM? And post a PNG showing the ugly to have an idea of what you mean... Created attachment 7485 [details]

And post a PNG showing the > ugly to have an idea of what you mean... Will test again under newly created user and in a VM. Have a look for the two attachments, attachment 7485 [details] from the original invoice shows the issue pretty well.
