This is also tracked by Debian at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=421464 A much simpler testcase is attached. The manual is interesting in this case: "If the font flags are not given, pdfTEX treats it as being 4, a symbolic font. If you do not know the correct value, it is best not to specify it at all, as specifying a bad value of font flags may cause troubles in viewers." The usual map files have no font flag entry for Helvetica. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody (None) Date: 2007-07-16 02:46 Message: Logged In: NO http://82a08849d12ce0c9732664327303500a-t.zjdicn.org <a href="http://82a08849d12ce0c9732664327303500a-h.zjdicn.org">82a08849d12ce0c9732664327303500a</a> [url]http://82a08849d12ce0c9732664327303500a-b1.zjdicn.org[/url] [url=http://82a08849d12ce0c9732664327303500a-b2.zjdicn.org]82a08849d12ce0c9732664327303500a[/url] [u]http://82a08849d12ce0c9732664327303500a-b3.zjdicn.org[/u] 9b90290ebc5b707b8f998fd2e6478888 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Norbert Preining (norbusan) Date: 2007-05-26 22:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=2156 Hi Martin! Could you send me a diff for the fix if it is not too invasive? Thanks a lot.
