fonts-x-org: Remove Adobe’s Helvetica fonts confusing pdf.js used by …
…Firefox This works around a Mozilla Firefox regression from 114.0 to 115.0. Firefox was upgraded from 114.0 to 115.0 around July 5th, 2023, and until now we had two problem reports. It’s actually a [regression][1] [in][2] [pdf.js][3], used to display PDF files inside the browser. Evince or other PDF viewers do not have the problem. The problem is, that for PDF documents using Helvetica, but not embedding the font, pdf.js chooses the X.Org font, despite Fontconfig matching *Helvetica* to *Nimbus Sans L*: $ fc-match Helvetica n019003l.pfb: "Nimbus Sans L" "Regular" As downgrading Firefox from 115.0.2 to 114.0 is unsupported by Mozilla for profiles – a warning is shown, and you need to start it with `--allow-downgrade` – remove the likely unused Helvetica fonts confusing Firefox/pdf.js.
