acrobat reader error message

Clemens Kleibusch — Thu, 02 May 2002 12:29:50 GMT

Opening some pdf files (e.g. http://www.dvo.de/allgemein/news/enginfos/info0110.pdf ) I get a error message like this:
Unable to extract the embedded font
'GOEAAE+Times.New.Roman.Fett01001424'. Some characters may not display
or print correctly.
Does anyone know this problem or it's solution

What are you using to open the document with (what platform).

Of course it's probably because it's an IBM company and HP probably has something imbedded to make the document fail :-))))

Hi Clemens,

It's more of an annoyance than a problem.
What's happening is that the page calls for a font that the system does not have.
You can query your system with the xlsfonts command to see what fonts you do currently have.
Or look at the /usr/lib/X11/fonts dir - all fonts in there have there own dirs.
If you need this font - you'll have to obtain it & install it.
To make the msg go away you could alias an existing font to this font name with the mkfontdir command.

HTH,
Jeff

Also, try using adobe's site, they have a forums area.

Here's something regarding fonts:
