It is not likely to. How does pi turn out?

May I suggest this? Move all the font directories in /usr/share/fonts out of the way. It's probably best to do this in a virtual terminal. To get anything readable back in X the X11 and opentype directories will have to put back. Now restore /usr/share/type1/gsfonts and see what your pdf looks like with xpdf and evince. mupdf doesn't use the fonts in /usr/share/fonts so it will tell you nothing. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
