Hi,
I am experiencing weird font substitution with pdftocairo and was
wondering what was the algorithm to match fonts when converting from
PDF. The Courier font (regular) is being substituted "Nimbus Mono L
Bold", even if fc-match return the non-bold version.
$ fc-match "Courier"
n022003l.pfb: "Nimbus Mono L" "Regular"
$ fc-match "Courier:style=bold"
n022004l.pfb: "Nimbus Mono L" "Bold"
What could be the reason behind this? I've been poking around the code
to find the answer and I see the substitution algorithm is quite
complicated. Is there a reason why poppler doesn't use standard system
matching? Would it be better to use fontconfig's FcFontMatch() ?
Thanks,
Pierre-Luc
