But I don't want to use / embed the Nimbus font at all!
libharu is called by HaruDoc::getFont('Courier', 'WinAnsiEncoding')
This *does* work - the font *is* Courier when you look at the PDF.
But -
- until ghostscript 9.55, in the PDF font properties, the font
was correctly named "Courier" so that every PDF reader could
display it;
- from ghostscript 9.56, in the PDF font properties, the font
is named "Nimbus" instead of "Courier", and some PDF readers
have problems to display.
The only "Nimbus reference" I have found is a line in the file
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.56.1/Resource/Init/Fontmap.GS which reads
/Courier /NimbusMonoPS-Regular ;
but this line is the same in gs 9.55 and 9.56. So I don't understand
what/why has changed here.
BTW, I now have tried to embed truetype fonts. Seems to work
(although the character outline is thinner, overall more "pale").
File size increases from 29K to 121K - would be OK for me...
