           Summary: Error: Couldn't find a font for 'Helvetica Bold'
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: poppler-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: brian at interlinx.bc.ca


Frequently, using evince I get errors such as:

Error: Couldn't find a font for 'Helvetica Bold'
Error: Couldn't find a font for 'Helvetica Bold'

I do believe I have such fonts installed however:

$ fc-match Helvetica\ Bold
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
$ fc-match Helvetica
helvR12.pcf.gz: "Helvetica" "Regular"

But I am certainly no font expert (or even neophite).

Why does evince complain even though I have matching fonts?
