1. rendering quality regresion vs xpdf before poppler conversion file: ISO-C-FDIS.1999-04.pdf 1089927 bytes/9366abddd3b963a9a497d050a9d17145 fonts became worse, < > symbols are represented as boxes (p 16), (C) symbol looks like [box]C[box], etc 2. Segmentation fault file: chapter 17 from "Understanding the Linux kernel" second edition (I've got it via "preview sample chapter" from O'reilly) 1052510 bytes/d06f19d0d9547bd1a6afb506375b540e All of this is a not a problem for vanilla xpdf-3.01pl2 Can someone please put non-buggy version back into stable?
(In reply to comment #0) > Can someone please put non-buggy version back into stable? > The latest stabilizations were because of vulnerabilities...
well, actually, we should rather try to fix poppler up, because that is the way forward. So, can you please try with evincce or kpdf if you have similar problems so we can tell if it is the xpdf-poppler code or rather the core poppler library itself?
about the symbols problem: this is probably an fontconfig problem try adding this to your /etc/fonts/local.conf: <alias> <family>Symbol</family> <accept><family>Standard Symbols L</family></accept> </alias>
That fixes <abstract> and <C>, thanks. The font is still slightly bigger and bolder.
Doh! The sucker is -Os. Recompiling poppler with -O2 get rid of segmentation fault.

The other issue is deaalt with in bug 124238 And I fixed the -Os problem with replace-flags.
:-) replace-flags should be applied in poppler ebuild, not to xpdf.
is xpdf also broken or can I revert the changes there?
poppler -Os + xpdf -Os => segfault poppler -O2 + xpdf -Os => OK
I guess this is fixed now.
can i get some more information so we can properly address this rather than ignoring the real issue ? can you post your `emerge info` on a segfaulting system as well as the .pdf you're testing with
Looks like it is gcc-3.4.6 specific miscompilation: gcc-3.4.6-r1 + poppler-0.5.4 + -Os => segfault gcc-3.4.6-r1 + poppler-0.5.4 + -O2 => OK gcc-4.1.1 + poppler-0.5.4 + -Os => OK gcc-4.1.1 + poppler-0.5.4 + -O2 => OK Offending PDF is slightly bigger than bugzilla limit.

thanks, that's a good follow up i'll drop the flag filtering from the ebuild then
