[Bug 1824260] Re: wrong kerning in SS-5 PDF form fields

[xiota]

Looking at `ss-5.pdf`, I saw the same rendering issue. The problem
appears to be associated with font substitution. In particular,
CourierStd is replaced with Ubuntu, which obviously won't render
properly.

I was able to correct the issue by installing the `fonts-urw-base35`
package and creating a file `~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/10-pdf-
aliases.conf` with the following contents:

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "/etc/fonts/conf.d/fonts.dtd">
    <fontconfig>
    
    <alias binding="same">
      <family>CourierStd</family>
      <accept>
      <family>Nimbus Mono PS</family>
      </accept>
    </alias>
    
    </fontconfig>

This problem can likely be fixed by adding font substitution rules to
the appropriate font packages.
