[Bug 1438494] Re: ghostscript fails to correctly substitute cidf fonts

 

Font packages in Ubuntu, providing the needed CJK fonts are (except the
redundant/obsolete names of 90gs-cjk-resource-japan2.conf):

fonts-arphic-ukai:
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/arphic/ukai.ttc

fonts-arphic-uming:
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/arphic/uming.ttc

fonts-takao-pgothic:
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/takao-gothic/TakaoPGothic.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/fonts-japanese-gothic.ttf -> /etc/alternatives/fonts-japanese-gothic.ttf -> /usr/share/fonts/truetype/takao-gothic/TakaoPGothic.ttf

fonts-hanazono:
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/hanazono/HanaMinA.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/fonts-japanese-mincho.ttf -> /etc/alternatives/fonts-japanese-mincho.ttf -> /usr/share/fonts/truetype/hanazono/HanaMinA.ttf

fonts-nanum:
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/nanum/NanumGothic.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/nanum/NanumBarunGothicBold.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/nanum/NanumMyeongjo.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/nanum/NanumBarunGothic.ttf

So splitting the fontmap files out of poppler-data and letting the new
binary file depend on the above listed packages should fix this bug.

Title:
  ghostscript fails to correctly substitute cidf fonts

Status in poppler-data package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I reported this bug first with ghostscript
  (http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=695874), but it is
  apparently a packaging issue.

  The general issue is that when there is a CIDF font in a .pdf that is
  not embedded in the document, ghostscript will stop processing the
  file at that font (see the file attached to the ghostscript bug).  The
  packaging issue is that CIDF fonts that are not on the system are in
  the default Ubuntu cidfmap file.

  System info is:

  $ lsb_release -a
  No LSB modules are available.
  Distributor ID: Ubuntu
  Description:    Ubuntu 14.10
  Release:        14.10
  Codename:       utopic

  $ ghostscript --version
  9.14
