ADP paystubs render slightly incorrectly (underscores below commas and dots)

[cbiesinger]

The ADP paystubs from https://ipay.adp.com/ render slightly incorrect for me - all dots and commas render with an underscore. See the attached screenshot. evince and acroread render it correctly without these underscores.

Er, apparently I can't attach a screenshot. And I don't have a good way to host the screenshot externally. So, you'll have to look at your own paystub, I guess.

FWIW, I can reproduce (using my MoCo-issued ADP paystubs) -- so hopefully the MoCo-employed PDF.js hackers can reproduce this using their MoCo paystubs, too.

Here's a screenshot (provided by biesi) -- this matches what I'm seeing:

Is that still the issue?

[dholbert]

Yes, I'm still seeing the issue shown in the screenshot above (underscores below dots/commas), using current Firefox nightly: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:23.0) Gecko/20130404 Firefox/23.0

Do you use the development version of pdf.js? If not, try installing http://mozilla.github.com/pdf.js/extensions/firefox/pdf.js.xpi and see if it fixed the problem.

[dholbert]

No, I was just using the built-in PDF.js version (the one that comes with Nightly).

I'll try the one you linked to.

[dholbert]

I'm still seeing the bug after installing the development version of PDF.js from timvandermeij's link.

(which reports itself in about:addons as being version 0.8.29)

[timvandermeij]

@yurydelendik: maybe a hardware acceleration issue? I do not have enough knowledge about HWA to say if that can be the problem or not. I have HWA on, by the way.

[Snuffleupagus]

Is this still an issue, using the latest version of PDF.js?

[cbiesinger]

Yes, it's still an issue with the PDF.js that shipped in Firefox nightly 26.0a1 (2013-08-30)

[timvandermeij]

Closing since there have been many font-related fixes in the meantime, no (reduced) PDF file is available and no working links to screenshots are available. If this is still not fixed in the meantime, please open a new issue with all the details from the issue template filled in. Thanks.

[dholbert]

I can still reproduce with the built-in version of PDF.js in Firefox, FWIW.

[dholbert]

(using my own paystub, which I sadly can't attach, for obvious privacy reasons)

[dholbert]

Here's a screenshot -- notice the underscore below the period:

Anyway, as-requested, I filed a new issue and filled out the template. #10388
