evince-2.21.1-alt1 libpoppler-0.6.3-alt1 libcairo-1.4.10-alt1 Steps to Reproduce: 1. evince http://learn-gs.org/library/etc/1-4-whorf.pdf 2. select some words, for example, the tile: "THE RELATION" 3. Actual Results: a sequence of "~" is seen in the selected region, no letters. ("Internally", the selection works fine: you can test it by pasting the selection to another application, you'll get the correct words.) Expected Results: The letters are seen.
In some files, the letters are correctly displayed when selected: e.g., /usr/share/doc/wordnet/pdf/lexnames.5.pdf from wordnet-2.1-alt2.
Now I started to understand that this problem has no very good solution. Probably, this is so in http://learn-gs.org/library/etc/1-4-whorf.pdf as it is because it is a scanned paper (an image) with added words. So, there are no fonts inside, so they can't be properly displayed. So it's rather a feature request: in such cases not to show the "~"s instead of the text but to show the selected text in a default font or to show the image and indicate that a real text has been selected (say, by showing the selected text in a "tooltip").
