OK -- in the upstream sources, feel-manual.tex has:
\documentclass[a4paper]{book}
%\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{a4wide}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
%%\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage{longtable}
The line "\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}" normally gets the "ec" fonts,
which are metfont fonts that extend the Computer Modern fonts by
adding glyphs. Now we have "lmodern" outline fonts,
so
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\documentclass[a4paper]{book}
%\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{a4wide}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
%%\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage{longtable}
Try inserting the following lines after the "\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}"
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{lmodern}
I tried this with pdflatex from TL2010. I had to remove pgfmath from
the \usepackage list as it
is loaded by pgf, but end up with a .pdf file that uses only Type 1
outline fonts.
