the font option produces PDFs that only render correctly in Adobe Acrobat, not Poppler (xpdf, evince, okular)
This is the sample code (for LuaTeX or XeTeX): ``` \documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{pdfcomment} \usepackage[english]{babel} %\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{lmodern} \usepackage{microtype} \usepackage[svgnames,rgb]{xcolor} \usepackage[absolute]{textpos} \usepackage{amssymb,amsmath,array,bm} \usepackage{courier} \usepackage{calligra,mathptmx,helvet,concmath} \usepackage{times} \usepackage{fontspec} % used to access system fonts like Lucida Fax
\begin{document}
\defineavatar{standard}{height=10mm,width=15cm,type=freetext,color=white,fontsize=20pt,fontcolor=blue}%,voffset=-4.8cm,hoffset=-3.2cm}%
\noindent% Fonts from the pdfcomment example document:\\[10mm] \pdffreetextcomment[avatar=standard]{This font is Helvetica (the default)}\\[6mm] \pdffreetextcomment[avatar=standard,font=LucidaConsole]{This font is LucidaConsole}\\[6mm] \pdffreetextcomment[avatar=standard,font=Georgia]{This font is Georgia}\\[6mm] \pdffreetextcomment[avatar=standard,font=PalatinoLinotype]{This font is PalatinoLinotype}\\[6mm] Fonts considered among the ``14 standard fonts'':\\[10mm] \pdffreetextcomment[avatar=standard,font=TiRo]{This font is Times-Roman (TiRo)}\\[6mm] \pdffreetextcomment[avatar=standard,font=Helv]{This font is Helvetica (Helv)}\\[6mm] \pdffreetextcomment[avatar=standard,font=Cour]{This font is Courier (Cour)}\\[6mm] \pdffreetextcomment[avatar=standard,font=ZaDb]{This font is ZapfDingbats (ZaDb)}\\[6mm] \pdffreetextcomment[avatar=standard,font=Symb]{This font is Symbol (Symb)}\\[6mm] Ad-hoc selection:\\[10mm] \pdffreetextcomment[avatar=standard,font=lmodern]{This font is Latin Modern}\\[6mm] \pdffreetextcomment[avatar=standard,font=textcomp]{This font is textcomp}\\[6mm] \pdffreetextcomment[avatar=standard,font=bogus]{This font is bogus (non-existent yet accepted!)}\\[6mm] \pdffreetextcomment[avatar=standard,font={Lucida Fax}]{This font is Lucida Fax from fontspec}\\[6mm] \pdffreetextcomment[avatar=standard,font=calligra]{This font is Calligra}\\[6mm]
\end{document} ``` The first question is what can be done to make the fonts render correctly in Poppler-based PDF viewers?
The other question: is Poppler the only game in the FOSS town? Or is there a FOSS alternative?
