<div class="gmail_quote">Thank you for your response. However, I note that *all* other fonts referenced in the file are commercial as well.

Certainly, if I had chosen the URW fonts, I would expect a reference to the Nimbus family.

<br>To add even more evidence, the "phvbo8an.pfb" file (see the line I cited) definitely refers to the original Adobe font.<br><br>Erik<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/5/10 Zdenek Wagner <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:zdenek.wagner@gmail.com" target="_blank">zdenek.wagner@gmail.com</a>></span><div>

</div>No, it would not work for most people. Helvetica-Narrow-BoldOblique is<br>
non-free commercial font. Unless you have bought it, you cannot embed<br>
it in your document. If the line were changed as you suggest, most<br>
people will not be able to use Helvetica at all. Nimbus fonts are free<br>
and good quality replacements for Helvetica and Times. If you have<br>
bought such fonts, you should not use download35.map but your<br>
customized map file instead.<br>
