Re: [evince] Evince Windows XP Assertion Failed

["Vallevand, Mark K" <Mark Vallevand UNISYS com>]

I found the problem.  I did not have the full set of fonts installed.  This is Windows XP embedded edition.  I only included the minimum set of fonts.  Apparently, only 5 fonts isn't enough.  When I include the full set of fonts, there is no error.  

I don't consider this to be an error.  However, it would be useful to document that evince/poppler uses the system fonts.  Adobe reader apparently installs its own fonts.  It does not fail when only the minimum 5 system fonts are installed.

Regards.

Thank you for reporting this an looking into it further. It indeed
seems to be a bug in poppler's font handling. Could you file a bug
report for that at bugs.freedesktop.org. If possible, please attach
your pdf file to the bug report.
