You're probably right about the Gnome PDF viewer (although I believe it uses the ghostscript rastering engine which is still shipped with Fedora). Bugs for Red Hat/Fedora products can be entered at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla You need to create an account, but it's worth it. The Gnome project has its own bugtracker at http://bugzilla.gnome.org Bugzilla can be a bit difficult to use, but since you've got developer experience I'm sure you are able to work with it.
