Hello, on a Mandrake 7.2 System (XFree86 4) I get *always* a strange error message on opening pdf-files with embedded fonts: Unable to extract the embedded font 'Helvetica'. Some characters may not display or print correctly. And acrobat reader displays - nothing! No alternate fonts, just nothing (er... no FONTS, but graphics). I use the following rpm of acrobat reader: $ rpm -qi acroread Name : acroread Relocations: /usr Version : 4.05 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. Release : 6 Build Date: Mon 14 Aug 2000 21:14:43 CEST Install date: Die 16 Jan 2001 11:30:50 CET Build Host: porky.devel.redhat.com Group : Applications/Publishing Source RPM: acroread-4.05-6.src.rpm Size : 14960925 License: Commercial Packager : Red Hat, Inc. <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla> URL : http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/download.html Summary : Adobe Acrobat(R) Reader An original Adobe acrobat reader tarball also doesn't work. On other Mandrake systems (7.1/7.2, XFree86 3 or 4) it runs fine. Maybe there's a env var not set or set to a flase value? Any suggestions? Any more info you need?
