What is default fallback font of FoxIt Reader on linux

view story
linux-howto

http://stackoverflow.com – I'm making a PDF and I don't want to embed fonts inside it. When I used Tahoma Foxit Reader substituted it for some default font on linux. What is this font? What font should I use so the Foxit Reader will not have to substitute font? Installing fonts is not an option since the Client should be able to view this PDF on linux without having to install some fonts and stuff. Can't embed whole fonts since the PDF grows from 100KB to 1000KB then, can't also embed subset of font because used component doesn't allow it. I want to know this font since I use EASTERN_EUROPEAN charset for special ch (HowTos)

Font display issue (Mac OS X)? 39 weeks 2 days ago

I used a font manager on Mac OS X, for additional fonts in my graphic design projects without installing them to the fonts folder (I think that's how it works) - using Font Book and Font Explorer X Version 1.2.3 on OS X 10.6.

I recently installed Korean fonts as well as ibus/ibus-hangul so that I can type Korean. I noticed that in Firefox the Korean font looks relatively normal and appropriate... but in Chromium the font is hideous. In Libreoffice the default Korean font is droid sans (fallback) and everytime I choose a different korean font it will not switch to the one I choose... instead keeping the default active.

I downloaded the Source Code Pro family of fonts, but cannot install them via the Font Viewer. If I give myself admin powers, I can manually add them to the rest of the fonts, so I'm guessing it's a permission issue.

What would I need to do to install them via the Font Viewer?

As a slight aside, I also read something about making sure the fonts were in the font cache as well.

Did you see Ivan's font topic: http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=18249 ?After you installed the fonts, did you rebuild the font cache?BlackIvan wrote:If you want to install some new fonts, especially bitmap fonts from outside the repos put them under ~/.fonts or for system wide use under /usr/share/fonts.

Try installing font packages; ttf-vista-fonts and ttf-mac-fonts will probably help with website compatibility, if you have not done so yet.
