Preview 5.5.3 - PDF with greek symbols not rendering properly

[kavya01sha]

Hi all,

We have some peculiar issues on Preview 5.5.3 (719.31), the PDF was typeset in 3B2 engine with Greek symbols.

When we try to open the PDF in Preview it shows up some white patch on greek symbols, but when we zoom IN our OUT the greek characters renders correctly (the white patch vanished).

We assume that its a "refresh" issues, but need to confirm whether its a refresh issue or some thing related to font issues.

Attaching herewith the screenshots.

Please advice.

Do you have a copy of the Adobe reader for OS X on hand? If not, download a copy (it's free) and see if you're getting the same behavior. I'm supposing like you that it's a refresh problem but it would be a good test to see if the Adobe reader results in the same thing.

Thanks for the response, yes we open the PDF in acrobat as well, there were no issues. But the author is using "Preview", he is not willing to change it to acrobat.

We already informed to author its just a refreshing issues, we thought of posting it in forums to get a confirmation about this issues.
