           Summary: patch to disable font substitution in pdftops
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: poppler-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

I have a large number of small PDF files to convert to eps.  The system that
generated the PDF files is out of my control.  To save space, PDF files do not
contain any embedded fonts.  Instead, I have the postscript fonts on my system.
 When pdftops finds a reference to a non-embedded font, it changes the font to
Helvetica, Times-Roman, or Courier from a list in psSubstFonts[] in
PSOutputDev.cc.  My patches add a -nosubst flag to pdftops that tells
PSOutputDev::setupFont() to pass the original font in the postscript output
instead of substituting it.  This way, pdftops does not lose any information,
and the postscript file will still view or print correctly if you have the
postscript font available.
