#27576: xpdf issues "could'nt create a font for..."
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
Reporter: j.van_den_hoff@… | Owner: macports-tickets@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2
Keywords: | Port: xpdf
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
xpdf issues these errors when viewing a document:
{{{
Error: Couldn't create a font for 'Helvetica'
Error: Couldn't create a font for 'Helvetica-Bold'
Error: Couldn't create a font for 'ZapfDingbats'
}}}
helvetica actually is used in the document, but zapfdingbats
is not AFAICS.
I activated the font definitions from the default xpdfrc in my .xpdfrc
which defines the fonts to be find as follows:
{{{
displayFontT1 Times-Roman
/opt/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/n021003l.pfb
displayFontT1 Times-Italic
/opt/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/n021023l.pfb
displayFontT1 Times-Bold
/opt/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/n021004l.pfb
displayFontT1 Times-BoldItalic
/opt/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/n021024l.pfb
displayFontT1 Helvetica
/opt/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/n019003l.pfb
displayFontT1 Helvetica-Oblique
/opt/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/n019023l.pfb
displayFontT1 Helvetica-Bold
/opt/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/n019004l.pfb
displayFontT1 Helvetica-BoldOblique
/opt/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/n019024l.pfb
displayFontT1 Courier
/opt/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/n022003l.pfb
displayFontT1 Courier-Oblique
/opt/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/n022023l.pfb
displayFontT1 Courier-Bold
/opt/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/n022004l.pfb
displayFontT1 Courier-BoldOblique
/opt/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/n022024l.pfb
displayFontT1 Symbol
/opt/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/s050000l.pfb
displayFontT1 ZapfDingbats
/opt/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/d050000l.pfb
}}}
but I don't see them in the specified location. maybe they are elsewhere
but it does not work out of the box. some time ago (but not in 1.9.1) xpdf
still did.
finally, for completeness, I see the following message on startup
of xpdf
{{{
Error: No paper information available - using defaults
}}}
although `psPaperSize' is specified in my .xpdfrc.
