This is a question about substituting fonts in a PDF file, when viewing or printing from Evince Document Viewer 2.30.3

On a Windows XP machine, I printed a page to a FoxIt PDF 'printer' in order to save the page as a PDF. Since the page seemed to have only the Times New Roman font in it, I embedded this font in the document at the time of printing.

I attach a screen shot from FoxIt PDF reader, with the 'font properties' dialogue box open.

I then took the PDF file and transferred to an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS p.c. When I opened the document, the bold type of Times New Roman had a different font substituted. :( I attach a screen shot from Evince Document Viewer 2.30.3, showing the 'font properties' box.

The Times New Roman bold font has been replaced by a sans serif font. How do I replace it instead with Times New Roman bold, please?

This page in askubuntu.com asks exactly the same question. However, the answers suggested on this page didn't work for me.
