12 Cheers, I'm very glad to hear it works. My first thought was that `t1lib` might
13 fix the error, as ZapfDingbats is a type-one font, however it seems like that
14 USE-flag only applies to the in-built D.V.I.-viewer. I still can't imagine
15 why Evince fails to find type-one fonts for P.D.F.s without the explicit
16 direction of FontConfig.

18 Anyway, this font-aliasing fix seems to be a fine work-around for now.
19 Have a nice day.
