I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 and filling out the SS-5 Social Security Administration from. However, some of the letters are wrongly positioned.



Here's how it looks in



Evince 3.28.2-1:



evince screenshot



xpdf 3.04-7:



xpdf screenshot



mudpdf 1.12.0 (which does not use libpoppler):



mupdf screenshot



The built-in PDF reader for Firefox 59.0.2:



firefox screenshot



The built-in PDF reader for Chromium 65.0.3325.181:



chromium screenshot



Evince and xpdf depend on libpoppler73 version 0.62.0-2ubuntu2.



Here is the output of pdffonts:



$ pdffonts ss-5.pdf
name type encoding emb sub uni object ID
------------------------------------ ----------------- ---------------- --- --- --- ---------
IHPIKC+ArialMT CID TrueType Identity-H yes yes yes 824 0
ArialMT TrueType WinAnsi no no no 826 0
Arial-BoldMT TrueType WinAnsi no no no 828 0
CourierStd Type 1 WinAnsi no no no 145 0
Helvetica Type 1 WinAnsi no no no 197 0
MyriadPro-Regular Type 1 WinAnsi no no no 198 0
ZapfDingbats Type 1 ZapfDingbats no no no 199 0


I have already installed the ttf-mscorefonts-installer and poppler-data packages.



Here are my questions:




  • Can I change the font used for filling in the cells of the form?



    It seems like Evince and xpdf are using a variable-width font when they should be using a monospaced font, and maybe this is causing the positioning problem.



  • If I were to file a bug report, should I file it as a poppler issue, a fontconfig issue, or somewhere else?
