Description Pascal Terjan 2005-04-21 02:02:20 UTC

Displaying http://linux.dell.com/dkms/dkms-LWE-Boston2005.pdf with cairo backend
switches background between title and body parts.
gtk-splash-test is OK, gtk-cairo-test is wrong

Yeah, I reproduced this myself, it is pretty broken.  I'll take a look once we
get poppler ported to cairo cvs head.

Comment 4 Kristian Høgsberg 2005-05-21 20:13:36 UTC

The problem is that xpdf handles gradients by splitting the up into a number of
solid color smaller polygons.  This doesn't play well with cairo antialiasing. 
The best results would be acheived if poppler used cairo gradients instead, but
that's a bigger rewrite.

Comment 5 Kristian Høgsberg 2005-12-04 15:34:29 UTC

Closing this as a dupe of bug 4330, which is now the master 'cairo backend
gradients are busted' bug.
