Summary: poor rendering of type1 fonts in DVI files
Product: okular
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: DVI backend
AssignedTo: okular-devel@kde.org
ReportedBy: sviva...@pdmi.ras.ru
Version: 0.9.3 (using KDE 4.3.3)
OS: Linux
Installed from: Ubuntu Packages
Outline fonts look worse in okular than their bitmapped counterparts.
They are thinner, less uniform and harder to read at low resolutions.
Evince, xdvi and (AFAIR) kpdf do not have this problem.
The dvips + ghostscript combination has this problem
on screen (but not on a 600 DPI printer);
dvipdfm + okular does not have this problem (with a patched poppler).
To reproduce: load a DVI file such that some of its fonts have type1 versions
installed on the system and some do not. Observe the difference.
I will attach a test DVI file and a screenshot. The DVI uses two fonts: CM and
LH. CM is the standard TeX font and LH font is basically CM plus Cyrrilic
letters, the Latin part is the same. In the screenshot the CM fonts are outline
and LH fonts are bitmapped.
