--- Comment #5 from Callegar <sergio.calleg...@gmail.com> --- The fonts in the PDF document are indeed reported as Type1 (you check them with the `pdffonts` utility as well, rather than using the information window in the PDF viewer). With this you get: name type encoding emb sub uni object ID ------------------------------------ ----------------- ---------------- --- --- --- --------- BAAAAA+SourceSansPro-Light Type 1 Builtin yes yes yes 24 0 CAAAAA+SourceSans3-Bold Type 1 Builtin yes yes yes 19 0 DAAAAA+ArialMT TrueType WinAnsi yes yes yes 29 0 EAAAAA+SourceSans3-Regular Type 1 Builtin yes yes yes 14 0 FAAAAA+SourceSans3-It Type 1 Builtin yes yes yes 9 0 The fonts file are originally OpenType fonts. To the best of my understanding, OTF fonts can either contain font data in a TrueType-like format or in a Type1-like format, the main difference between the two being that the TrueType format encodes the font contours in quadratic splines, while Type1 uses cubic splines (and should, at least in principle, have a potential advantage in rendering quality). When the fonts get "embedded" in a PDF document, it is the actual font data that gets embedded, so that any font diagnostics will either report "TrueType" or "Type1". On github, Adobe distributes either the fonts as OTFs or TTFs. In both cases you get fonts that are recognized as OpenType by the system, but the OTF fonts contain Type-1 font data, while the TTF fonts contain TrueType font data. I am on Linux and in this case the fonts can be installed in multiple ways. If you have Arch/Manjaro, then they come with the distro, in the `adobe-source-sans-fonts` package. The Arch/Manjaro package uses the OTF version of the font, with the expectation that it should be (slightly) higher quality. However, I have also tried with an Ubuntu system, where the font is not available out of the box. In this case, I have downloaded the `OTF-source-sans-3.046R.zip` file from `https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-sans/releases/tag/3.046R` and unpacked it into the `.fonts` directory in my home (in some systems you need to use `.local/share/fonts`). So that the fonts can be found by `fontconfig`. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
