KPdf on Debian 3.4.0, works fone.

Comment 5 Albert Astals Cid 2005-04-14 16:51:13 UTC

Who told you these fonts are truetype? They are not, they are Type 1 fonts (not that this matters but i thought i had to correct the error).

That pdf works fine here so it's a problem in your side. Check that you got no warnings about freetype or fontconfig when compiling and that fontconfig is able of giving fonts for Times and Courier (you can user fc-match Times and fc-match Courier for that)

Also which version of freetype are you using?

Comment 6 Piotr Szymański 2005-04-14 17:06:50 UTC

[djurban@djurban ~]$ fc-match Times ; fc-match Courier
timR12.pcf.gz: "Times" "Regular"
cour.pfb: "Courier" "Regular"
[djurban@djurban ~]$

Im using freetype 2.1.9.

Comment 7 Albert Astals Cid 2005-04-14 17:16:21 UTC

Wops, i just realized that fonts are not asked on fontconfig, we have direct "bindings" to them
Courier -> n022003l.pfb
Times-Bold -> n021004l.pfb
Times-Roman -> n021003l.pfb

Do you have this fonts in any of these paths? 
/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts
/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts
/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts
/usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript/

If you don't have that fonts in any of these that is the problem

Comment 8 Albert Astals Cid 2005-04-14 21:04:51 UTC

CVS commit by aacid: 

Add another path to search the default gs fonts, we have to improve, but for now i'm closing the bug, thanks for reporting
