Comment: Actually, it seems that fonts.conf supplied with the upstream fontconfig package does something similar, substituting the URW Nimbus fonts for Times, Helvetica, and Courier, but that the Ubuntu package comments these lines out. See http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/fontconfig/fontconfig_2.3.2-1.1ubuntu5.diff.gz I don't know the rationale behind the Ubuntu fontconfig package maintainer's decision to do this, but this is the cause of the incorrect fonts in e.g. evince. The removed lines from the above diff are: <!-- - URW provides metric and shape compatible fonts for these 3 Adobe families. - --> - <alias> - <family>Times</family> - <accept><family>Nimbus Roman No9 L</family></accept> - </alias> - <alias> - <family>Helvetica</family> - <accept><family>Nimbus Sans L</family></accept> - </alias> - <alias> - <family>Courier</family> - <accept><family>Nimbus Mono L</family></accept> - </alias> - One further note --- restoring these lines fixes these three fonts, but not the substitution for the Adobe Symbol font: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ fc-match Symbol DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book" This causes evince to render PDF documents with non-embedded Symbol characters (such as mathematical papers) incorrectly, as in the attached screenshot. So I would also recommend making a Symbol substitution such as <alias> <family>Symbol</family> <accept><family>Standard Symbols L</family></accept> </alias> or an equivalent. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
