The elements with the ugly fonts in the PDF, on the other hand, all have this CSS declaration: font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; Here is how my system matches these names: $ for F in Arial Helvetica sans-serif; do fc-match $F; done Arial.ttf: "Arial" "Normal" n019003l.pfb: "Nimbus Sans L" "Regular" Vera.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans" "Roman" These font files come from the packages msttcorefonts, gsfonts-x11, and ttf-bitstream-vera, respectively. Do you have these packages installed? If not, does installing them give you nicer fonts in the PDF? If you do not want to befoul your system with the evil runes of Redmond then you could try installing ttf-liberation instead. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
