It is substituting its own (probably) Helvetica for a font in the PDF that the creator of the PDF failed to embed. Failing to embed fonts used in the document into the PDF is an extremely common error. Moreover, the creator of the PDF can't tell that the font is not embedded because the PDF does display correctly on the creator's computer - because the font is installed on that computer so Acroread has no problem displaying it there. But move the PDF to a computer that does not have the font installed and Acroread will have to substitute one of its default fonts. Why there is a difference between mupdf and Acroread is less clear to me. I have never even heard of mupdf, but my best guess is that it has a different set of default fonts. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
