[bug #63808] configure gives incorrect information regarding pdf generation

[G. Branden Robinson]

Follow-up Comment #28, bug #63808 (project groff):

I think I tracked down the embedding problem with HI and HBI.

This is in the "urw present, gs absent" scenario.

It may be a Type 1 font file name issue...again.

It seems that the plain Helvetica replacement is using the somewhat incorrect
term "Italic".  But the Helvetica Narrow replacement retains use of the term
"Oblique".

My understanding is that the term "italic" properly applies only to fonts that
use serifs.

But in any case, this inconsistency may be be something that Foundry.in is not
prepared for.


$ grep 'HB*I|' font/devpdf/Foundry.in

HI|N|i|text.map|text.enc|NimbusSans-Italic!NimbusSans-Italic.t1!NimbusSans-Oblique!NimbusSanL-ReguItal!n019023l.pfb


Okay, actually the problem seems to be a missing".t1" at the end of the
"*Italic" file names.

I'll patch this and see what happens.
