Debian :: Fonts With Pdf Files - Lines Remain Blank - Error: Couldn't Create A Font For 'Courier Bold'
Feb 23, 2011
I have a pdf file (nasm documentation) that used to be displayed perfectly with xpdf, but now all code example lines remain blank. On the terminal I get repeated lines such as:
Quote:
Error: Couldn't create a font for 'Courier Bold'
Error: Couldn't create a font for 'Courier'
I tried to figure out the problem... the same problem occurs with both evince and okular. However it does not occur when opening the same file under root (tested with xpdf), so it seems to be some permission problem. I tried searching on the error message but couldn't find a working solution.

This is an interaction between OOo and the font package on Ubuntu, so I have searched both sets of forums fruitlessly. In Open Office when I go to select font characteristics for the so-called MS fonts (Arial for example) instead of the menu showing Bold and Italic, it shows "Negreta" and "Cursiva".

We are having problems opening some PDF files: get error and whole document is unreadable using acrobat 9.x on karmic. "Cannot find or create the font 'TimesNewRoman,Bold'.Some characters may not display or print correctly." I also ran upgrade from ubuntu software center and retried but same problem.

I have used the Tweak Tool to configure Gnome to use bold fonts for Window titles and Interface, but Gnome only applies the regular version of the font. Meanwhile, both Firefox and Thunderbird obey the settings.

using the application manager and yum, however, I need to install an executable that is in neither. It isn't an RPM either. $ file results in :
ncplot: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, not stripped
running:
chmod +x ncplot
./ncplot
results in :

Got a problem with fonts in 'Konsole'-windows. 'Bold' fonts are being cut off at the last letter. Sometimes only half the letter is visible, sometimes the letter is completely invisible. No problems with fonts in xterm. Set the standards in '/etc/DIR_COLORS', but the problem still exists in (for example):
- man-pages (headings)
- perldoc (headings)
- vi (infos at bottom, like -- INSERT --)
- ...
Is there a solution to turn off bold fonts in Konsole completely? Would be my favourite! I'm using OpenSUSE 11.3, KDE 4.4.4 "release 2"...

No setting in KDE to configure fonts to bold,as Gnome have that feature. Bold font looks clear especially outdoor. I'm using Droid sans fallback.

I want to use Courier New font in my gvim editor. I am using Slackware 13.In my present .gvimrc i have:-
set gfn=Bitstream Vera Sans Mono 13
But now i wish to change the font to Courier New. From what i have read this is a Microsoft font, so is there a way that i could get it into Slackware 13?
I found out that an installation of Redhat already has that font and when i do set gfn=Courier New 13 in my .gvimrc in Redhat, the fonts are available(which is not so in Slackware 13)

I updated and removed some packages that could not be upgraded, and now Firefox and Google Chrome show web pages in bold font by default. By this i mean that all pages not setting font-weight explicitly.
This is on Meerkat, upgraded from long before (Lucid, i believe). I'm guessing the KDE packages are due to me having Amarok and konsole installed some time long ago, so i assumed i could ditch these.The terminal output from the commands above is attached.

Essentially I have found this guide, but it is for miktex, i need a guide for texlive on Debian/Ubuntu which will not pollute dpkg installed texmf.
I'm interested in converting TrueType font to be usable in (pdf)(La)TeX.
All the power google turn up just stuff f relating how to install microsoft fonts or do stuf on MikTeX.
I CANNOT USE XeLaTeX!!! I use pstricks and the font must be available in plain TeX! Otherwise my document looks inconsistent!

I switched back to Fedora after a long time and wow a lot of things have changed! Fedora 12 is looking amazing and the best part is I could install it on my USB so easily. And then I found I couldnt open any PDF files on Fedora - I tried installing AdobeReader, xpdf and openoffice. All of them are just throwing some file format errors.... <I cant push a screenshot now since i removed the packages>
Initally i thought it might be some version conflict but it turned out I couldnt open any pdf's including docs from 5 years back to docs with embedded media content. I know I havent put any info here. I am looking for a little info on what is needed to get Acrobat/Xpdf working in Fedora 12... And I couldn't get any errors logged so I'd like a little help there if I need to share some debug messages...
that gave these messages [root@localhost Presentations]# evince module-development.mgp.pdf
** (evince:5768): WARNING **: Failed to create dbus proxy for org.gnome.SettingsDaemon: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon': no such name

So I install a font, don't like it, then uninstall it. Simple enough, but when I say a font, I mean the 465 free true type fonts by Brian Kent. For some reason I thought it had said 45 and thought that font options would be nice. Of course, hardly any of the fonts were worth using, so I uninstalled them. Yet, their names still show up in the list of fonts in all programs that use a font list. There are 465 names that don't have a font associated with them, and it's driving me nuts.

Yesterday, I was doing some work (Don't worry, I didn't lose anything), and I restored a terminal I had open, and it completely froze! I couldn't do anything on the desktop, so I tried rebooting. Doing that resulted in an error when booting. It would say "bin/sh : Can't mount" or something like that (Can't quite remember) not too long after trying to start up, and it would leave me stuck with some weird terminal. The only command I know on this new terminal is reboot. What should I do?
Note that I just installed Debian two nights ago and it was working perfectly fine until last night...
The error says "/bin/sh: Can't access tty; job control turned off"

My goal is when test should be drawn using mono, sans serif family fonts, Korean font should be picked up.I have added below entry in fonts.conf and the font is also installed under fonts directory.
Using FC_DEBUG flag, I checked that score for this font is not coming the "Best Score".I am not sure what the problem is, If I expect fontconfig to just replace sans with my font, it should take that.

1.) Where can I find the setting to change the size and color of the font used for inactive windows?
2.) Where can I change the size of fonts used in webpages? For example, look at the size of the font I see here at this website.

My video suddenly stopped working. I get strange lines across the screen, a weird white box around the cursor and all the fonts are messed up (much similar to this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1395788)I think the problem started when updating to kernel 2.6.31-22, but booting into 2.6.31-21 (which worked just a few days ago) does not solve the problem. I have also tried to disable all screen effects and I have installed the radeonhd driver - without any luck.

Recently I installed some of the MS Office 2007 fonts onto my Ubuntu 10.10 machine in order to use them. Unfortunately, a few of them look really blocky at font sizes smaller than 16 pt. The two i'm having issues with are Calibri and Cambria. I don't seem to have this issue with any other set of fonts. Here is a screenshot of the issue in question. I remember having this same issue on 10.04, before I upgraded, if it means anything.
By the way, I took the fonts from a windows machine, on which the fonts were working properly.

I just upgraded my system from wheezy to jessie. For the most part, the upgrade was painless, but there's one bit of weirdness that I can't seem to fix on my own.
In my .Xdefaults, I set the font for Emacs with this line:
Code: Select allEmacs.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
When I do this, however. the font that appears in Emacs is not any misc-fixed font. See the following image for what Emacs displays. The window for xfontsel shows what font it should be selecting.
Note that both emacs23 and emacs24 (both Debian packages) exhibit this behavior. I also see it with an installation of emacs24 that I compiled myself.
If I use xlsfonts to see what's available matching this pattern, four choices are presented:
Code: Select all$ xlsfonts | grep 'misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-.*-iso8859-1$'
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-100-100-100-c-70-iso8859-1
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-100-100-100-c-80-iso8859-1
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-70-iso8859-1
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-80-iso8859-1
If I change the font-spec in Emacs to specify one of the avgWidth parameters (70 or 80), then Emacs displays the correct font. Note that with this spec, Emacs's choice matches what xfontsel displays.
With avgWidth 70:
With avgWidth 80:
Why Emacs is using the wrong font family when the avgWidth is set to "*". As I understand X font strings, using "*" should make it pick either 70 or 80, but it clearly isn't doing that. A "*" worked with wheezy, so I'm assuming the upgrade changed my font configuration, but I don't know what it might have changed.

I would like to be able to access my data file that reside on my Linux machine at home from the Internet but I don't want to open any "doors" for lack of a better word that will compromise the security of my files. I am running F11 and I am using cable broadband and a Linksys router.I have been able to get ssh working with OpenSSH while I am at home but I don't really need or want to ssh remotely, I would rather setup what I think is called an ftp. I just want to be able to up and download files to my Linux machine.

there is a way to add line spaces when asking for user interaction in a script. For example:
Code:
SPACE
Hello what is your name?
SPACE
SPACE
So this is asking a question but has a space/empty line at the top of the screen and 2 spaces/empty lines below. I've seen it done in a bash script using for each line/space needed
Code:
echo ""
So what does perl use?

I am trying to delete any blank lines within two patterns e.g.
Address: 53 HIGH STREET Cred Id :
MYTOWN
MYCOUNTY
MM12 6MM
Pay Method : Crossed Cheque
The start of my pattern is "Cred Id" and the end is "Pay Method" and I want to delete the blank lines between county and post code. I did find the code below but it doesn't seem to change anything:
sed -ne '/Cred Id/,/Pay Method/!bp' -e '/^$/b' -e -e p ll.out
I can get it to print just the range I'm interested in by doing sed -ne '/Cred Id/,/Pay Method/p'.

I have a file with three consecutive blank lines. I want to delete two and keep one.Also, if anyone could direct me towards a guide on regular expressions particularly as they apply to sed, I would be grateful. I am having a hell of a time figuring out the syntax.
