Thanks, Marek. Is there some chance of having this "fixed" (i.e. worked around
the same way Adobe Reader does it - by taking a system font and attaching it to
the pdf document) in a foreseeable future? Because currently most of
government- or bussiness-related pdf forms (in my country) can't be filled out
on Linux, the only way is to run Windows and Adobe Reader. And that's a strong
reason for people to say they can't use Linux, which makes me sad. I understand
those pdf forms are not well created, they should have contained the correct
font covering all needed glyphs. But I can complain as much as I want to the
form authors (I did, many times) - as long as it works for 99% of people,
they're not going to waste their time on this.
