Hi,
This should be fixed with version 0.8.4-1 of libpoppler-glib3. Can you
grab a copy from unstable and confirm?

>grab a copy from unstable and confirm?
I downloaded and installed the library:
Preparing to replace libpoppler-glib3 0.8.2-2+lenny1 (using .../libpoppler-glib3_0.8.4-1_amd64.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libpoppler-glib3 ...
Setting up libpoppler-glib3 (0.8.4-1) ...
I quit all instances of Evince that were running, but still I can
reproduce the bug.

Could you please try with freetype 2.3.7-1?
Thanks,

Tried as above, no change.

That's why I am following up on the same bug, even if the symptoms are
very different.
While evince displays correctly the file at
<http://fly.isti.cnr.it/riservato/debian-bug/ja2410-fig10.eps>,
it cannot display (any more) the file at
<http://fly.isti.cnr.it/riservato/debian-bug/ja2410-fig10+p.eps>,
which is the same as the previous file but with a tiff preview added:
evince just load the latter and shows a Loading... sign, without any
errors.
Gv displays both files without problems.

It is usually better to file a separate bug report. In this case I think
the problem is with libspectre. You could file a bug against it in
debian, or directly upstream at http://bugs.freedesktop.org

Hi,
Do you still experience this bug?
Francesco Potorti`
I am currently far from my PC. I will be able to check in September.
I will let you know by then.

No. The copy saved by evince is now identical to the original pdf, and
as expected no errors are signaled.
Thank you.
