Afaikt, Times, Helvetica and Courier are proprietary fonts that are not
available on a typical Linux system. So, without further measures, I can't
select a Base14 font from KFontRequester. How did you do it?

Yes, but that could indeed be a good experiment. We can manually figure out the
true postscript names of some system fonts (using fontconfig, or ttfdump), and
then hardcode the postscript name into the resource generated by
createAnnotDrawFont. Like
fontDict->add(copyString("BaseFont"), Object(objName, "DejaVuSerif"));
fontDict->add(copyString("Subtype"), Object(objName, "TrueType"));

That would be a good starting point to debug into popplers font lookup code,
and to extend the fake font resource with encoding and font descriptor and
learn how things get processed.
