I have no clue really. I also do not know how to find out which font is
used. I only found that our workers preview PDF files and instead of
4µm they read 4m which is 4 meters instead of 4 micrometers. Thats
pretty bad...

Please someone find out where the problem is and reassign the bug
appropriately.

Thank you
