Bug Description
Binary package hint: wine1.2
Hi,
this is reproducible with a fresh Kubuntu Karmic or Lucid Desktop installer CD:
1. Boot up Karmic AMD64 Desktop live CD.
2. Open terminal window
3. > wget http://
4. > okular "CD%2FCD4066BC.pdf"
Result: PDF is displayed OK. (See attached "screenshot-
5. Close okular
6. enable multiverse repository in /etc/apt/
7. > apt-get update && apt-get install ttf-symbol-
8. > okular "CD%2FCD4066BC.pdf"
Result: PDF is rendered incorrectly. Greek characters like capital W
(Omega, for Ohms in the document) are substituted by wrong symbols.
(See attached "screenshot-
There seems to be something wrong with ttf-symbol-
This needs fixing in all supported Ubuntu releases.
Maybe this is related to Ubuntu Bug #461233.
HTH,

OK.
-> PDF is, stating the facts, /the/ most important document format for any "WYSIWYG" publishing.
-> This is easily reproducible
I know, for everyone, the bug he reports is always the most important in his own opinion. I know.
But still, seing absolutely zero results for years and counting (this just happens to be the most recent case, sorry guys!),
I'm just asking: Is there /any/ point reporting bugs to Ubuntu/Launchpad in the first place?
