wrong character displayed (greek letter instead of P)

Post by urlwolf »

Hi, this pdf:
http://arxiv.org/abs/cs.LG/0212038
prodices an error, the wrong character is displayed (greek letter instead of P).

foxit displays the thing correctly though, so I assume the pdf is ok?

Thanks

The PDF is OK. The problem lies with the Alphabetic Presentation Forms for fi, which are converted to Icelandic thorn Þ by PDF-XChange for some reason.

That's good. But how often does Xchange have this small rendering problems? in 5 days I've been using it it failed to open 1 pdf, and displayed one more wrong. I'm testing it so I can make a recommendation to two large communities of people. It's important fom me that it works well. Otherwise I'll look like a fool.

Which build are you using?
Anyway looks like problem is corrected in final build 40 (maybe not in 40.3 beta), which will be released soon.
