I finally figured it out! It took me a few days. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I found out that the Helvetica font was being mapped to a bitmap font: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
----- |
| 17 |
$ fc-match helvetica |
| 18 |
helvR12-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz: "Helvetica" "Regular" |

I was scratching my head here. |

Make sure you have media-fonts/liberation-fonts installed (supposed |
| 24 |
replacement for some MS TTF fonts): |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
----- |
| 27 |
# emerge -pv liberation-fonts |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
These are the packages that would be merged, in order: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Calculating dependencies... done! |
| 32 |
[ebuild R ] media-fonts/liberation-fonts-2.00.1-r1::gentoo USE="X |
| 33 |
-fontforge" 0 KiB |

Then enable liberation-fonts, disable the bitmap fonts. I also rebuilt |
| 39 |
the font cache: |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
# eselect fontconfig enable 60-liberation.conf |
| 42 |
# eselect fontconfig enable 70-no-bitmaps.conf |
| 43 |
# fc-cache -fv |
| 44 |
----- |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Now my fontconfig looks like this: |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
----- |
| 49 |
# eselect fontconfig list |
| 50 |

Lo and behold, it's not showing a bitmap font now: |
| 93 |
|
| 94 |
----- |
| 95 |
# fc-match helvetica |
| 96 |
n019003l.pfb: "Nimbus Sans L" "Regular" |

I don't know if the font mapping is correct, but I refreshed a page on |
| 100 |
bugs.g.o and I can print to PDF without the blocky fonts! So I don't |
| 101 |
really care if the font mapping is correct now. I can print again! :-) |
