Bug#888204: cups-pdf: Ugly and hard to read output (Type 3 fonts)



Package: cups-pdf
Version: 2.6.1-22
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

since upgrading to Debian 9, CUPS-PDF produces an ugly and hard to read output.
Obviously because it doesn't anymore embeds vector fonts but only Type 3 bitmap
fonts.

Setting PDFVer to 1.5 in cups-pdf.conf didn't help.

Is there a setting to make cups-pdf switching back to vector fonts again?

This was much better in earlier Debian releases.

Using "Print to file" results in an much better readable PDF output. See
attached Image.

Best regards
  Wolf-Dieter
