xpdf error
I installed slack10, and now when I run xpdf with this vewwy important pdf I want to read it says:
Error: Couldn't create a font for 'Helvetica-Bold' Error: Couldn't create a font for 'Helvetica' I haven.t had this problem with slack9.1... How can I fix this? fyi I have the font Helvetica installed, because I can use it in openOffice... cheers Rogier |
fc-list | grep Helvetica
doesnt give any results... so the new question is, how do I get the Helvetica fonts into the fc-list? (solved) I got this far now: bash-2.05b$ fc-list | grep Helvetica Helvetica:style=Bold Italic Helvetica:style=Italic Helvetica:style=Bold Helvetica:style=Regular but still when I try to run xpdf it gives the same error... s whole bunch of Error: Couldn't find a font for 'Helvetica' Error: Couldn't find a font for 'Helvetica' Error: Couldn't find a font for 'Helvetica' Error: Couldn't find a font for 'Helvetica' Error: Couldn't find a font for 'Helvetica' Error: Couldn't find a font for 'Helvetica' Error: Couldn't find a font for 'Helvetica' |
Try create or edit ~/.Xresources and add this line :
Xpdf*fontList: -*-helvetica-*-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 Save and run : xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources see if it works |
doesn.t work, still the same error... what could this be...
fc-list lists helvetica fonts, and I can select it with xfontsel... and the strangest thing is that I could use it in slack 9.1 |
try to install this package :
gnu-gs-fonts-6.0-noarch-1 http://www.slackware.com/pb/searchfi...003l.pfb&w=off |
yes, that did the job! thank a lot!
I still find it very strange that I need this package, and I haven.t found anything on the web about it... |
I run xpdf version 3.0 fine in Slack 10. Have a look in $HOME/.xpdfrc - there is some stuff in there about mapping font names to fonts, which may well be what you need.

after I did a google search on n019003l.pfb I found this website which explains the problem:
