Thanks! Somewhere in the tread it was suggestd to intall: "msttcorefonts, gsfonts-x11, and ttf-bitstream-vera" After installing msttcorefonts the the problem seems solved on my system. The Fonts listed by pdffonts changed from: name type emb sub uni object ID ------------------------------------ ----------------- --- --- --- --------- EPPOJK+f-0-0 TrueType yes yes no 10 0 EPPOPF+f-1-0 TrueType yes yes no 11 0 FAACML+f-7-0 TrueType yes yes no 28 0 [none] Type 3 yes no yes 18 0 [none] Type 3 yes no yes 19 0 [none] Type 3 yes no yes 20 0 [none] Type 3 yes no yes 24 0 [none] Type 3 yes no yes 26 0 to: name type emb sub uni object ID ------------------------------------ ----------------- --- --- --- --------- WFRXYX+f-2-0 TrueType yes yes yes 13 0 UFQSLH+f-5-0 TrueType yes yes yes 46 0 ITPEVV+f-6-0 TrueType yes yes yes 49 0 HSAEUE+f-4-0 TrueType yes yes yes 43 0 VKJNGT+f-1-0 TrueType yes yes yes 11 0 YNAHAD+f-0-0 TrueType yes yes yes 8 0 [none] Type 3 yes no yes 16 0 and the file looks fine. I also installed ttf-bitstream-vera to be safe. On my system ttf-liberation was already installed. I have not made any changes to my system since installing it from the Lenny netinstall iso about two and a half months ago. Chris -- C.
