I tried your instructions, but unfortunately the document set with
Helvetica font and then Nimbus Sans L is still to large (before it
covered one page, now also a bit of a second one).

Maybe here are some more informations:

In contrast to the original post, the fonts Times New Roman is shown
(also the msttcorefonts and Courier). So

1. Could you please check if those fonts are also available to you?


Typing xlsfonts on the console and grepping for helvet or times, the
fonts are shown. For example:

-adobe-helvetica-medium-o-normal--20-140-100-100-p-98-iso8859-1

or

-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--14-140-75-75-p-73-iso8859-1

2. Is that also true in your setup?


On IRC someone suggested that Helvetica is not a free fonts and that is
the reason it is not shown anymore.

3. Has anyone (maybe Rene) more information about this?


Hope we can solve this issue soon.
