How can I specify a font substitution in PDF Document Viewer?

[Steve Francis]

This is a question about substituting fonts in a PDF file, when viewing or printing from Evince Document Viewer 2.30.3

On a Windows XP machine, I printed a page to a FoxIt PDF 'printer' in order to save the page as a PDF. Since the page seemed to have only the Times New Roman font in it, I embedded this font in the document at the time of printing.

I attach a screen shot from FoxIt PDF reader, with the 'font properties' dialogue box open.

I then took the PDF file and transferred to an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS p.c. When I opened the document, the bold type of Times New Roman had a different font substituted. I attach a screen shot from Evince Document Viewer 2.30.3, showing the 'font properties' box.

The Times New Roman bold font has been replaced by a sans serif font. How do I replace it instead with Times New Roman bold, please?

This page in askubuntu.com asks exactly the same question. However, the answers suggested on this page didn't work for me.

Any possible links to a solution?

I can print using Windows XP but would prefer to print from Ubuntu.

Workaround:

In the end, I printed the PDF file and chose the 'embed all fonts' option.

The filesize was slightly larger than if I selected the specific fonts but the problem was solved.
