Description Marco Pessotto 2010-12-15 16:52:57 UTC

Created attachment 7029 [details]
the letter "u" is not shown in the second row

In the attached pdf, created with ConTeXt and luatex 0.65 and the fonts latin modern, the letter "u" of the bold variant is not shown. However, all the other viewers (xpdf, gv, okular, evince, acroreader) don't complain.

Probably it's a font related issue, because the problem shows up only with the latin modern font, but I have to start somewhere, so I'm reporting this to you first and in case I'll forward to other components involved (luatex and lmodern). 

I'm using the binaries downloaded from http://mupdf.com/download/mupdf-0.7-linux-i386.tar.gz

Thanks for MuPDF. It rocks.

Just for the record, the pdf originates from this ConTeXt code, created with luatex 0.65

\starttext

\bf abcdefghjkilmnopqrstuvwxyz

\it abcdefghjkilmnopqrstuvwxyz

FWIW this doesn't happen with MuPDF 0.6, nor an unknown version from December 2009. Looks like it was introduced with 0.7.

I get this warning from freetype with the binary on the download page:

warning: freetype load glyph (gid 109): broken file

Same with both the linux and windows versions.

A fresh compile of mupdf 0.7 does not exhibit any problems.

It could be a problem with the version of freetype used in
the 0.7 binary release. There were a few CFF related bugs in
that version of freetype.

I've recompiled mupdf and the problem indeed goes away. Thanks for your attention. AFAIC you can close this bug.
