PDF (like Postscript) has 14 "base" fonts that are assumed to exist in any reader and there is no need to embed them. Courier, Helvetica and Times Roman are in those base 14. A very simple tool for finding out what fonts are referenced and/or embedded in a PDF is "pdffonts" that comes with xpdf (its in the xpdf-utils Debian package). For example, a simple pdftex-generated PDF I happened to have handy gives: /tmp% pdffonts intermezzo.pdf name type emb sub uni object ID --- --- --- - XSSGUM+CMR12 Type 1 yes yes no 6 0 LDZDIG+CMR10 Type 1 yes yes no 9 0 Note the "emb" column showing that both these type1 fonts are embedded in the PDF. (The random name prefix is a PDFTeX workaround for a bug on MSWindows Acroread) So what you should do is run pdffonts on your PDF file. Either you have forgotten to embed some fonts that need to be (ie: any fonts outside the base 14) and only some of your viewers have access to the font through other means (its installed elsewhere on your filesystem); or you are using the base fonts and your xpdf is unable to find its installed version of them (from the gsfonts package on Debian) and your PDF file should work fine elsewhere. From the error message you mention in another post, I'm suspecting the latter. Try fixing/removing your ~/.xpdfrc and see what happens. -- - Gus -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

[SLUG] CAN-2004-1137
Hi All, Can anyone tell me why not many distros have an update for the CAN-2004-1137 (among other kernel vulnerabilities) yet ?. Ubuntu, Redhat, SuSe have updated kernels but pretty much all the rest do not have an updated kernel for this issue. Secondly would 'iptables -A INPUT -p IGMP -j REJECT' protect my machine from remote attacks ?. I tried this rule and then ran the proof of concept exploit from http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/11917/solution/ and it still crashed my (slackware) machine. I am assuming that it connects over a unix socket or exploits one of the non-networked vulnerabilities as according to secfocus there are three actual vulnerabilities contained in this vulnerability. Lastly I would have to say that this is a bit of a shocker for the linux community, this vulnerability could be used with devastating effect, I am a bit disappointed with linux in this regard.

[SLUG] horizontal scrollbar terminal
Hi I have been using Linux for a number of years and the only gripe I have is that I can not find a terminal emulator that has horizontal scroll bars or I can't find away to configure my environment so that lines scroll horizontally and I can scroll through them using arrow keys for example. Why would I want them I hear you ask ? Simply because when you are tailing a log file ( eg syslog from cisco routers or worse snmp traps) having a line wrap makes viewing the logs very difficult. All I am after is something like xnmevent viewer from HP that doesn't wrap lines but alllows you to scroll horizontally without stopping the real time logs. I have tried the following less -F (works but have to stop reading the logfile when scrolling horizontally) set horizontal-scroll-mode on (only scrolls on command line not log output) A large xterm that wraps across 2 virtual desktops (ugly) This has to be a common requirement but I can not find an answer anywhere Thanks in advance -- James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

[SLUG] PDF generated from a server is missing fonts
Hi all I have a server and I'm using pdflib to generate a PDF file and sending back to a user. At home it all works fine. But on the server when I create the PDF and view it ALL the text is missing. Even if I download the PDF file there are no fonts. I think I need some debian font package but what one. There are so many. Its a Debian system and it is not running XFree or any X. Any idea what font package to install so the libary can find a plain times-roman and a helvetica to embed?

Re: [SLUG] Re: ssh login from ssh login
The only problem with the solution as described appears to be that when the ssh session terminates, the netcat ones don't. They need to be killed separately. Would there be a workaround for this?
