Okular refuses to display μ on a document

As the title states, Okular (24.08.2 on Linux Mint Cinnamon 22) does not display μ while every other pdf viewer does.
How can I fix this?
This is the document in question: support.bedifol.com/attachments/token/BOhV92U7dGKmEerYeqSpXAyYj/?name=20230202_Datasheet_BROTECT_AirGlass__Matte_Glass_Screen_Protector_EN.pdf

Support is appreciated.

I’m not seeing your issue –

Neither a issue with Okular 24.08.2 on Arch. Works fine like in Franken14679s picture.
But I have seen that some Fonts are only partially embedded and some others not at all, Okular may just have a limited choice of alternative fonts available on your system and choses, for the “μ” in particular, not the best.
At least that would be what I think happens here. In my case it choses “NimbusSans-Regular” as a replacement and that Font has a μ.

On Manjaro, it looks fine,

That character was originally written using ArialMT font which is substituted on my system by Nimbus Sans Regular which is coming from gs fonts,

You should check if the font used for substituting ArialMT on your system has that glyph or not.

For example, if I remove gsfonts package I get the same problem as yours as it was replaced by another font called TeXGyre Heros which fails to render that character,

Thank you. In my case, it is indeed replaced by TeXGyre Heros. However, I tried to install gsfonts, but it told me I already have it. What should I install so it renders properly?

NimbusSans is what I see…

Try creating a new USER and testing there, something is maybe off with settings innit.

Okular uses fontconfig to resolve font substitutions.

By default, it substitutes fonts with system fonts, such as Noto Sans, instead of embedded fonts like Liberation or GNU fonts. To change this behavior, you can:

  1. Install the required fonts: Ensure you have the desired fonts (e.g., Liberation or GNU fonts) installed on your system.

  2. Configure fontconfig: Edit the fontconfig configuration file (/etc/fonts/conf.d/ directory on Linux systems) to prioritize the desired fonts. You can add or modify rules to specify the font substitution order.

  3. Update Okular’s font cache: After modifying fontconfig, restart Okular or run okular --reset-font-cache to refresh the font cache.

  4. Verify font substitution: Open a PDF file in Okular and check if the desired fonts are being used instead of the default substitutes.

I have flatpak version of Okular. What command should I use to update Okular’s font cache? “okular --reset-font-cache” is not recognized

try
fc-cache -fv

I have already tried this, the problem still persists, unfortunately. I have Nimbus Sans installed. I can see it in my font manager. I also have Arial, but not ArialMT.
is ArialMT the font I need?
I tried sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer but it says it is already the newest version.

It is still the same…

It seems your flatpak has problem to see your global installed fonts, I don’t use flatpaks or snaps but you can try:

  1. download gs fonts and decompress them (only needed .otf or ttf files) inside ~/.local/share/fonts/
  2. run fc-cache -fv
  3. run your flatpak application

Thank you. There is an app called flatseal that manages permission for flatpaks individually or globally. I will sort it out with it.
