[debiandoc-sgml-pkgs] Bug#397658: debiandoc-sgml: Created PDF files contain Type3 fonts

[Frank Küster]

Package: debiandoc-sgml
Version: 1.1.94+1.1.95bpo1
Severity: normal

PDF files generated with debiandoc-sgml's debiandoc2latexpdf command
sometimes contain PostScript Type3 fonts - these are pixel fonts which
are displayed "ugly" by many viewers, including many versions of
acroread.
