PDF containing non-embedded Symbol TrueType font doesn't show math symbols

It must have to do with the Symbol TrueType @ /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/s050000l.pfb since I have another PDF where this font is missing and all math symbols are shown correctly:



Fonts (working)



So it appears that Ubuntu thinks it knows how to handle that font but it doesn't seem to choose the correct file (?). How can I solve that problem?

  • Can you run the command pdffonts <pdf-file-name> and add the results of that command to your question?

  • K - I'm not an expert (at anything), but I'll write a short answer that I'm cribbing from elsewhere, to attempt to embed the fonts into the PDF

I have a PDF (generated from PowerPoint) that contains math characters which are not shown when viewing it with the default PDF viewer or Okular (greek letters, square root symbol, ... all appear as blank space). Checking the document properties these fonts are shown:



Fonts (not working)



It must have to do with the Symbol TrueType @ /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/s050000l.pfb since I have another PDF where this font is missing and all math symbols are shown correctly:



Fonts (working)



So it appears that Ubuntu thinks it knows how to handle that font but it doesn't seem to choose the correct file (?). How can I solve that problem?

  • Can you run the command pdffonts <pdf-file-name> and add the results of that command to your question?

  • @CharlesGreen I added the output, thanks for taking a look.

  • K - I'm not an expert (at anything), but I'll write a short answer that I'm cribbing from elsewhere, to attempt to embed the fonts into the PDF

I have a PDF (generated from PowerPoint) that contains math characters which are not shown when viewing it with the default PDF viewer or Okular (greek letters, square root symbol, ... all appear as blank space). Checking the document properties these fonts are shown:



Fonts (not working)



It must have to do with the Symbol TrueType @ /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/s050000l.pfb since I have another PDF where this font is missing and all math symbols are shown correctly:



Fonts (working)



So it appears that Ubuntu thinks it knows how to handle that font but it doesn't seem to choose the correct file (?). How can I solve that problem?

share|improve this question
















I have a PDF (generated from PowerPoint) that contains math characters which are not shown when viewing it with the default PDF viewer or Okular (greek letters, square root symbol, ... all appear as blank space). Checking the document properties these fonts are shown:

It must have to do with the Symbol TrueType @ /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/s050000l.pfb since I have another PDF where this font is missing and all math symbols are shown correctly:



Fonts (working)



So it appears that Ubuntu thinks it knows how to handle that font but it doesn't seem to choose the correct file (?). How can I solve that problem?

  • Unfortunately this didn't work. gs complained about missing fonts and also substituted others. There seems to be a problem with several *MT fonts (perhaps "MathType" ?) which are apparently not installed by ttf-mscorefonts-installer.

It appears that some of the fonts are not embedded into the PDF file, but we can fix that with the following command:

I added the output of gs and a following pdffonts to my question.
