Who experiences this problem can use the following workaround as described in the source bugreport: Add to ~/.config/fonts.conf the following section before the "</fontconfig>" tag:
<match target="pattern"> <test name="family"> <string>Helvetica</string> </test> <edit name="family" mode="prepend" binding="same"> <string>NimbusSansL</string> </edit> </match> A real fix for the original problem however is likely a change of the Ubuntu trusty default fontconfig config (package: fontconfig-config) or an update to the font renderer. (Quoting https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tex-gyre/+bug/1317599/comments/8: "Ideally, renderers would notice that the glyph name they want is unavailable and look for alternate names.") -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1326188 Title: Wrong PDF standard fonts are replaced when fonts package "fonts- texgyre" is installed - PDFs are rendered with missing characters To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/1326188/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
