Bug ID: 1111675
           Summary: Capital Greek Delta not rendering properly
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 20
         Component: dejavu-fonts

Created attachment 910841
  --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=910841&action=edit
Original pdf, converted to png and screenshot

Description of problem:
When I create a pdf that contains a capital greek delta and open it in a pdf
viewer (Evince, Okular, ...), instead of the letter, I get the empty set
symbol.

My pdf: test.pdf

When I use convert to make a png from the pdf, the letter comes out normally: 
test_convertFromPdf.png.

I attach a screenshot of what renders when I open the pdf:
test_screenFromEvince.png

I tried opening the exact same pdf on a different os (SL5), where it renders
perfectly fine.

I'm thinking this might be dejavu related after reading this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fonts-dejavu/+bug/1275971
If that's not the case, apologies for the misclassification.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
I'm running fc20, 
dejavu-fonts-common-2.34-1.fc20.noarch
dejavu-sans-mono-fonts-2.34-1.fc20.noarch
dejavu-sans-fonts-2.34-1.fc20.noarch

dejavu-serif-fonts-2.34-1.fc20.noarch
dejavu-lgc-sans-fonts-2.34-1.fc20.noarch
evince-3.10.3-1.fc20.x86_64
evince-nautilus-3.10.3-1.fc20.x86_64
evince-debuginfo-3.10.3-1.fc20.x86_64
evince-libs-3.10.3-1.fc20.x86_64
evince-djvu-3.10.3-1.fc20.x86_64

How reproducible:
Open the pdf (on my machine).

Steps to Reproduce:
Open the pdf?

Actual results:
The symbol doesn't render properly.

Expected results:
A nice capital Delta.

Additional info:
Feel free to ask for additional logs or version numbers, or other possibly
relevant info.

Looking a bit further, capital delta is not the only problematic one. From the
following table there are several that are mapped to a different character when
I open the pdf.

Sample PS file

The same issue applies to evince-3.14.1-7.fc21:
1. The original PS file is rendered correctly.
2. The PDF file obtained by conversion with ps2pdf shows the capital Greek
delta replaced by Ø.
3. When displaying the PDF file with ghostscript, then the rendering is
correct.

--- Comment #5 from Fedora End Of Life  ---
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

--- Comment #8 from Fedora End Of Life  ---
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
