Win32 font problem using helvetica on PS output

When I save a drawing as EPS, and print it, some or all of the
PostScript fonts are incorrect, and show as Courier instead.
(When I view the EPS in Ghostview on Linux, everything looks fine.)

Here are two slightly different cases:

1. Font is Helvetica Narrow Bold:

    All text items print as Courier.

    I get a similar result when I run the EPS through Adobe Distiller
    (which I did just to see what's happening); it reports:
 Helvetica Narrow-Bold not found, using Courier.
 Helvetica Narrow-Bold-ISOLatin1 not found, using Courier.

2. Font is Times Bold:

    First text item prints correctly, others print as Courier.

    When run through Adobe Distiller, it whinges:
 Times-Bold-ISOLatin1 not found, using Courier.
    Note: only one message, not two as above.

My messy workaround:
-------------------

If I edit the EPS file (diff shown), it works. (I.e.
insert an extra dash in the font name wherever it's
used, and use the original font name, without the -ISOLatin1
suffix.)

 < /(Helvetica Narrow-Bold-ISOLatin1) /(Helvetica Narrow-Bold)
newlatin1font
 ---
 > /(Helvetica Narrow-Bold-ISOLatin1) /(Helvetica-Narrow-Bold)
newlatin1font
 88c88
 < /(Helvetica Narrow-Bold-ISOLatin1) findfont
 ---
 > /(Helvetica-Narrow-Bold) findfont

Is there a better solution to this? (Presumably we're not the only
site having this problem?)

Inkscape 0.44.1 on Windows XP
Printers used: HP4050TN PostScript and HP3700DN PostScript.
(Running Inkscape on Linux isn't currently an option, alas,
because of o/s versions.)

 Thanks,

those files work fine with Ghostview 4.8 and Scribus 1.3.3.8

[su_v (suv-lp)]

This bug was reported against old Inkscape versions (0.44 and 0.45): EPS/PS output in current versions (0.48, 0.48+devel) is based on cairo and always embeds fonts.

Can you confirm that the issue still occurs in Inkscape 0.48 on Windows (which installs and uses cairo 1.8.8) or can this report be closed?

[su_v (suv-lp)]

Closing due to lack of feedback. Feel free to reopen if the issue still occurs with embedded and subset fonts (default for the cairo-based PS/EPS export) with current Inkscape versions (>= 0.48.x).
