I grabbed the fonts from CentOS 7.6 in
/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1
and copied them onto my CentOS 7.9 system.
I then reran 'configure' in 1.22.4 with
--with-urw-fonts-dir=/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1
as an argument, and reinstalled things.
I recreated the file
bad-sqrt.pdf
using 'groff' as per usual, i.e. no special embedding. I do note that now
I still have:
$ pdffonts bad*pdf
name type encoding emb sub
uni object ID
------------------------------------ ----------------- ---------------- --- ---

MZESMJ+Times-Italic Type 1C WinAnsi yes yes
no 9 0
GQRLKW+Times-Roman Type 1C WinAnsi yes yes
no 7 0
Symbol Type 1 Custom no no
no 11 0
Typing
evince bad-sqrt.pdf
I note that it now works as previously, i.e. the long tail on the square
root sign covering the entire expression has now reappeared.
Thanks to all for the explaining things so that I knew where to go fishing
Somebody needs to tell the CentOS team or whoever they are these days that
they need to stop removing things from standard packages.
Out of curiousity, where on other people's systems are those '.pfb. files?
