Description Gerold Jens Wucherpfennig 2004-09-07 03:32:01 UTC 
Version:           0.4 (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.4.2 prerelease from 3.4 branch
OS:                Linux

Opening

http://www.naturaldata.com/Files/PR-ENT_News_Mapi_NDI.pdf

with kpdf will raise multiple errors about missing
fonts:

The "Error could not find a font for ..."

("Times-Roman", "TrebuchetMS",
"TrebuchetMS,BoldItalic", "Verdana",
"Verdana, Italic" and "Verdana, Bold")

"Times New Roman", "Trebuchet MS" and "Verdana"
are installed and can be selected in KControl's
font module. It cannot be sole a font
substitution problem "TrebuchetMS vs. Trebuchet MS",
because of "Verdana vs. Verdana".

With kpdf no text from the above mention PDF
file is displayed at all.

It's worth to mention that GPDF doesn't
issue any warning or error with that file.
The text is displayed CORRECTLY.
Comment 1 Albert Astals Cid 2004-09-07 21:47:48 UTC 
It works for me.

Do you get any warning when compiling KPDF? (You should not)

Do you have t1lib and freetype installed? (Look for #define HAVE_T1LIB_H 1 and #define HAVE_FREETYPE 1 in kdegraphics/config.h)

t1lib is missing ...( #define HAVE_T1LIB_H 0)
I'll test again...

... T1LIB is for Type-1 fonts, though I have the original Truetype fonts
installed... I'll test T1LIB nonetheless...
Comment 4 Albert Astals Cid 2004-09-09 22:33:13 UTC 
ok, found the problem (i think), the problem is you don't (possibly) have a /etc/xpdfrc file, if i remove mine (installed there by xpdf) i don't get the fonts either.
