I don't have Frutiger ( a propriaetry font) installed in order to be able to generate a test example. and get a figure that's a lot closer to the ones in the PDF, without font data"leaking".

I was suggesting Arimo (or Fira) might be a closer match in metrics terms, meaning that with a sutiable fontconfig substitution, I can save myself a lot time this side. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The previous versions which demonstrated the problem were deleted (per Commons policy ), so I don't have a test case to hand, but an extracted figure (To SVG) from any of the TSM volume PDF which has text will show the issue.Ĭurrently, I've been updating the figures to use sans-serif(effectively DejaVu Sans) (and then converting the text to paths), which is a temporary work-around. You can control the typeface of text using the font family utilities. The problem arises with the content here - The PDF uses Frutiger, meaning that when the figures are extracted in Inkscape (or some other SVG editor) a Font substitution is made, this in some cases leads to text being clipped.
