Description Aidan Delaney 2011-07-10 20:13:08 UTC
Description of problem:
As of some recent texlive update, pdflatex seems to now prefer type3 fonts over type1.

How reproducible:
Create a basic tex file
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Moo
\end{document}


Steps to Reproduce:
1. run pdflatex on the basic tex file
2. run pdffont on the generated pdf file
3. note that the output states that type3 fonts are used
  
Actual results:
All of the embedded fonts are type3 fonts.

Expected results:
I'd expect all embedded fonts to be type1

Additional info:
using \usepackage{lmodern} or \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} forces some fonts to be type1, but not all (not all that used to be type 1).

Running pdflatex on the same file on Fedora 14 produces a pdf containing only type1 fonts.

This problem seems to be verified on

Comment 2 Aidan Delaney 2011-07-14 21:07:35 UTC
Looks like on update to F15 stable, my texlive-release rpm conf got clobbered.  Or something else strange happened.  So I didn't get the fixes to the March issue.

This is a NOTABUG
