Bug Description
Inkscape 0.43, Linux
Mandriva 2006.0, locale = default, US
Text elements in drawing created specifying font as
Helvetica. Upon export to PDF, font name in PDF file
was not recognized. Decide to try export to Postscript.
Examed file and found that instead of Helvetica, the
font family name was NimbusSansL. Verified that SVG
file had specified Helvetica.
Export to EPS has same error.
Work around is to edit PS/EPS file to correct font
family name, then manually convert to PDF.

Do you actually have a font called Helvetica? If not,
Inkscape will pick something appropriate and load the font
that is being used and then will query it for its PostScript
name, to ensure a match between screen and printer as close
as possible.
