as a univeristy student i looked foward to being able to use my sl-c3000 to view pdfs of coursenotes, saving me some paperwieght
however i have the annoying thing that a lot of mathematical operatiors (integral sign, most greek, etc) show up as ? on qpdf. I have tried installing unicode fonts, but to no avail. I bought my uni from www.shirtpocket.co.uk if that is any use Can anyone help me? thanks -0- |

Try switching on the option to use embedded fonts. This usually works for me.

That also doesn't seem to work
for one thing, with embedded fonts turned on, theta and the infinity sign (as a subscript) do not display in qpdf2 is it only me having this problem? i intend to install debian on my 3000 as soon as my tests are over this week, if i'm doing this is it owrth bothering fixing this, i intend to use it for PIM, but also as a mini laptop (my main pc is a slackware laptop) cheers -0- |

I am using the version of qpdf2 from the cacko feed (http://www.cacko.biz/cacko/feed) it also installs libtt as a dependance.
I don't have any problems but then again most of the pdfs are of papers etc that I have written and converted myself using acrobat in windows, which I think embeds the fonts required for the math in the papers. |
