After trying to find an excellent example, i'll have to amend my bugreport a tiny bit. It is not about ArialMT but about non-embedded: PalatinoLinotype-Roman
It's about document http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_301_201_admin_guide.pdf The 'normal' text on for instance book page 7, is in acrobat reader a serif typeface, in evince it is a 'sans-serif'. When i turn on FC_DEBUG=4 and 'printCommands yes' i learn the following: Add Subst match pattern any family Equal "Palatino-Roman" edit Edit family Append "URWPalladioL-Roma"; (indeed: fc-match Palatino-Roman gives: URWPalladioL-Roma.pfb: "URW Palladio L" "Roman", which is in gfonts-x11) I am not a master in interpreting fontconfig / poppler debug output, but i will try to find the relevant spot: If poppler encounters the lines: Tf /TT8 1 font: tag=TT8 name='PalatinoLinotype-Roman' 1 Tm 10.98 0 0 10.98 153 640.02 Tc 0.0008 Tw -0.0049 Tj (Customizing Guest Op) It starts finding a proper font match. FcConfigSubstitute Pattern has 6 elts (size 16) family: "Palatino Linotype"(s) slant: 0(i)(s) weight: 80(i)(s) width: 100(i)(s) spacing: 0(i)(s) lang: "xx"(s) ... (it passes the opportunity to match a close relative:) FcConfigSubstitute test pattern any family Equal "Palatino-Roman" No match ... (and concludes with:) Substitute match pattern all family NotEqual "sans-serif" pattern all family NotEqual "serif" pattern all family NotEqual "monospace" edit Edit family AppendLast "sans-serif"; Does this help you any further?
