DetailsDescription:
I'm having issues searching through my LaTeX documents. I narrowed it down to \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} and \usepackage{lmodern}. With those removed / commented searching works again. Here's a minimal example: http://ix.io/2gIn/TeX Building the pdf with pdflatex file.tex I can search through the pdf file. If I uncomment and include either the fontenc or the lmodern or both, searching doesn't work anymore. It's not a LaTeX / TexLive issue, because I tried searching through older documents, which I'm sure I was able to search in. Doesn't work anymore. And with e.g. Evince there's no problem at all. Additional info: * package version(s) $ pacman -Qi mupdf | grep Version Version : 1.16.1-3 * config and/or log files etc. none of the two packages included: http://ix.io/2gIp fontenc included: http://ix.io/2gIq lmodern included: http://ix.io/2gIr both packages included: http://ix.io/2gIs * link to upstream bug report, if any none to be found Steps to reproduce: Save the minimal example with e.g. filename test.tex, then run "pdflatex test.tex", then open the resulting pdf file in mupdf and search for e.g. "Lorem". It will be found. Now include one of the packages or both by uncommenting the corresponding commented lines, run "pdflatex test.tex" again, open the pdf file in mupdf and search for e.g. "Lorem". It will NOT be found. In fact nothing will be found. |

I just had an idea. I checked, if it also occurs with zathura and the mupdf backend. Yes, same result. With the poppler backend I can find the words I'm searching for.

Can't reproduce this using mupdf-gl 1.18.0-2 and freetype2 2.10.4-1
