I have noticed that the Greek character Pi in some PDF documents is replaced by the not equal sign. how do I fix this? should there be any fonts packages that I need to install? which ones?
It could be that the PDF file is badly authored, but without an example nobody can tell.
Generally speaking, PDFs have their own fonts embedded into them, unless the PDF is using one of the few *standard* (for PDFs) fonts. So a badly rendering PDF usually indicates a bad PDF file, or a problem with the reader.
Thank you for you reply.
the problem is not limited to a single document or even to a single source.
I am using Okular to read PDF documents. assuming the documents are good (they have no problem in windows machines), what can I do to fix the problem with Okular not showing the right characters?
Thanks in advance, YB.
