I finally figured it out! It took me a few days. I found out that the Helvetica font was being mapped to a bitmap font: ----- $ fc-match helvetica helvR12-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz: "Helvetica" "Regular" ----- I was scratching my head here. Make sure you have media-fonts/liberation-fonts installed (supposed replacement for some MS TTF fonts): ----- # emerge -pv liberation-fonts These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] media-fonts/liberation-fonts-2.00.1-r1::gentoo USE="X -fontforge" 0 KiB Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 KiB ----- Then enable liberation-fonts, disable the bitmap fonts. I also rebuilt the font cache: # eselect fontconfig enable 60-liberation.conf # eselect fontconfig enable 70-no-bitmaps.conf # fc-cache -fv ----- Now my fontconfig looks like this: ----- # eselect fontconfig list Available fontconfig .conf files (* is enabled): [1] 10-autohint.conf [2] 10-no-sub-pixel.conf [3] 10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf * [4] 10-sub-pixel-bgr.conf [5] 10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf [6] 10-sub-pixel-vbgr.conf [7] 10-sub-pixel-vrgb.conf [8] 10-unhinted.conf [9] 11-lcdfilter-default.conf [10] 11-lcdfilter-legacy.conf [11] 11-lcdfilter-light.conf [12] 20-unhint-small-dejavu-sans-mono.conf [13] 20-unhint-small-dejavu-sans.conf [14] 20-unhint-small-dejavu-serif.conf [15] 20-unhint-small-vera.conf * [16] 25-unhint-nonlatin.conf [17] 30-metric-aliases.conf * [18] 30-urw-aliases.conf * [19] 40-nonlatin.conf * [20] 42-luxi-mono.conf * [21] 45-latin.conf * [22] 49-sansserif.conf * [23] 50-user.conf * [24] 51-local.conf * [25] 57-dejavu-sans-mono.conf [26] 57-dejavu-sans.conf [27] 57-dejavu-serif.conf [28] 60-latin.conf * [29] 60-liberation.conf * [30] 65-fonts-persian.conf * [31] 65-khmer.conf [32] 65-nonlatin.conf * [33] 69-unifont.conf * [34] 70-no-bitmaps.conf * [35] 70-yes-bitmaps.conf [36] 80-delicious.conf * [37] 90-roboto-regular.conf [38] 90-synthetic.conf * [39] 99pdftoopvp.conf ----- Lo and behold, it's not showing a bitmap font now: ----- # fc-match helvetica n019003l.pfb: "Nimbus Sans L" "Regular" ----- I don't know if the font mapping is correct, but I refreshed a page on bugs.g.o and I can print to PDF without the blocky fonts! So I don't really care if the font mapping is correct now. I can print again! :-) Dan
