Description of problem:

It is not possible to toggle the state of checkboxes in PDF forms.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

evince-2.28.2-1.fc12.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a form with a checkbox.
2. Click on the checkbox.

Actual results:

Nothing happens.

Expected results:

The box should change state.

Additional info:

I observed this problem specifically with US Federal Tax forms. For example,
try the 2009 Form 1040: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf?portlet=3

Hi,

this is an issue with fontconfig. The PDF uses "ZapfDingbats" font, but there
is "Zapf Dingbats" font only.
This can be bypassed by setting of ~/.fonts.conf (or /etc/font/local.conf)
according to http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21395#c6.

=> reassigning to fontconfig

Regards

Marek
