I don't know the answer but maybe I know the reason. You can start xpdf with the option "-cmd" to see everything it does. This is nice to find out which font it wants to use. When it comes to the monospaced text in this document you are likely to notice this message: TJ [(gpg) -599 (-gen-key)] Error: This document uses Type 3 fonts - some text may not be correctly displayed Tf /F45 7.9 font: tag=F45 name='Courier' 7.9 So it just uses Courier which works on my system - I can see the code parts of this document. But eventually someone knows what is so evil with the Type 3 fonts that they work for everyone who is not you. Interesting is that if I do `pdftops manual.pdf manual.ps` I get the above error string and the result does NOT include the command strings. Weird... If you don't want to know the reason but just want to get your manual showing up correctly you should try gnome-gv for viewing. It does an excellent job here and is a bit faster than xpdf in most (not all) cases. [x] ulf -- Doing a job RIGHT the first time gets the job done.
