Hi All,
Qoppa PDF Studio Pro 10.0.0
Xfce 4.8
Scientific Linux 6.6, x64
I am using a fill in PDF tax form that doesn't print so good.
Qoppa tech support told me that I am missing the font and
that the substitute font they grabbed is the problem.
So I opened the PDF in Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro in a virtual
machine (XP). The font in question is:
Helvetica LT Std
Size 8
Baseline Shift: opt
Bold
Questions:
1) how do I manage my fonts?
You probably want to read about fontconfig and it's various utilities -
fc-match, etc.
2) where do I go to find this font?
You likely don't, but perhaps find a better match. The preferred
provider I believe is currently:
$ fc-match 'Helvetica LT Std'
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
Install dejavu-sans-fonts if you don't already have it. You might also
search around for 'msttcorefonts' - not sure what MS fonts were provided
in that old thing.
