855995 - pdf.js doesn't display brackets correctly if they use more than one line

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: PDF Viewer, defect, P3)

Description

[fabib92]

brackets that use more than one line are not displayed correctly

you can reproduce this problem with almost every PDF, that uses that kind of brackets but an example would be:

page 4, section 2.3.3

I suspect this is already fixed in the development version of the viewer; I use the nightly extension and the pages look identical in my regular viewer and Firefox.

-> PDF.js version-independ Font Issue?

@Reporter: you might want to try against http://mozilla.github.com/pdf.js/extensions/firefox/pdf.js.xpi (Dev version of PDF.js)

Ok, thanks for testing the Dev Version though.

Another Thing you can test is disabling Hardware Acceleration.
See under Options/Advanced/General, uncheck the given Option, restart Firefox and test the PDF.

Reproduced on Firefox 19.0.2 with HWA off. 
On latest Nightly build (20140116030250), the brackets are correctly displayed. Marking as RWFM.
