Attached the patch which adds ArialMT alias to /etc/fonts/conf.avail/30 -metric-aliases.conf, that is fontconfig-config package. I tested it on PDF document without ArialMT subset included and it works fine.
Please consider committing the patch to upstream ASAP. ** Patch added: "ArialMT fix" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/132417/+attachment/3102494/+files/fontconfig-arialmt.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to poppler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132417 Title: evince doesn't display the correct font Status in Poppler: Confirmed Status in “fontconfig” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “poppler” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: evince When displaying a PDF document with a non-embedded font 'ArialMT', no attempt is made to display the ArialMT font. Expected behavior: evince asking fontconfig to produce the closest match to the ArialMT font. Actual behavior: no request for font is seen in debug output of fontconfig. It might be a poppler issue, poppler seems to convert ArialMT into Helvetica wich receives a less fitting match from fontconfig when Arial is present.
