consider yourself shunned

I have a PDF. Acroread tries to load and then bitches that it doesn't
have the right font. Not a particularly exotic font - just Times New
Roman.
I *know* I have TNR installed somewhere because The Gimp and Star Office
and Firefox can use them but we shall ignore that.
In fact we better ignore that because there's no way to tell Acrobat
"try looking here as well".
Now, I know the PDF might not render exactly as was designed and since
PDF is a print layout format I can see why that's more important than in
HTML but, you know, just this one time I'm willing to let you substitute
Helvetica or Garamond or Arial because, crazy kook that I am, actually
care about the content rather than the presentation.
I know, I know. Shun me! I am an aesthetic pariah.
Will it let me do this. No. It displays square boxes for every character
instead.
Ghostview, btw, handled it with aplomb.
