yeah i went through a bunch of that stuff too... settings, preferences, 
100%, 50%, new accounts, adding and removing printers, etc... as well as 
regional and accessibility settings...

thank you for the response though...

something else interesting i just noticed, when i opened the file 
through ssh -X C0 --> C1 and launched okular the problem still 
persist... yet at C1 okular renders the pdf fine... weird yo...

cheers
