No, I mean that it was Reinhard I met in New York, which (to me) is a strong indicator that I remember wrongly what we discussed there. > > It is not a single font name but a bundle, mimicking Postscript > > "base 35" list. > > You can find them refered to as either "base" or "core" fonts, > sometimes even as "standard" fonts. Yes. I did not mean by my quoting that I was using a canonical name. > Google return 13 mio hits for "postscript 35 core fonts" and 24 mio > hits for "postscript 35 base fonts" and 30 mio for "ghostscript 35 > standard fonts". Seems you did such searches without quoting or other hinting, which only (roughty) tells the amount of hits with _either_ of those search terms. > However, urw refers to them as "core35", Artifex refers to them as > "base 35" [1], Adobe refers to them as "Core Font Set" [2]. Do you have a reference to URW++ naming, or did you assume their naming from names of zip files redistributed by the Ghostscript project? > Do you know what the official name is?

No, I wasn't referring to poppler-data package, and in fact consider naming of that package similarly wrong. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
