In detail I installed ms-fonts, google-web-fonts, foss-fonts and fontconfig-infinality-ultimate, and set up /etc/X11/xorg.conf to my fonts. I have no idea what acutally fixed it, and therefore I do not think it was a clean solution. But I can live with it.
It also fixed this. X)
]]>My system is not Arch, and has the old 2010 texlive, so these are just examples:
$ cd /usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/urw/helvetic ; for f in `ls -A` ; do fc-query $f 2>/dev/null | grep -qi "nimbus sans l" && echo $f && fc-query $f | grep style: ; done
uhvb8ac.pfb
style: "Bold Condensed"(s)
uhvb8a.pfb
style: "Bold"(s)
uhvbo8ac.pfb
style: "Bold Condensed Italic"(s)
uhvbo8a.pfb
style: "Bold Italic"(s)
uhvboc8a.pfb
style: "Bold Condensed Italic"(s)
uhvbrc8a.pfb
style: "Bold Condensed"(s)
uhvr8a-105.pfb
style: "Regular"(s)
uhvr8ac.pfb
style: "Regular Condensed"(s)
uhvr8a.pfb
style: "Regular"(s)
uhvro8a-105.pfb
style: "Regular Italic"(s)
uhvro8ac.pfb
style: "Regular Condensed Italic"(s)
uhvro8a.pfb
style: "Regular Italic"(s)
uhvroc8a.pfb
style: "Regular Condensed Italic"(s)
uhvrrc8a.pfb
style: "Regular Condensed"(s)
And to make these available to texlive, put in /etc/fonts/conf.d/09-texlive-fonts.conf e.g.:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<dir>/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype</dir>
<!-- Avoiding the many in type1/public, which make abiword slow -->
<dir>/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/adobe</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/bitstrea</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/urw</dir>
</fontconfig>
What I need is the font width which the Font Viewer does show me. Please help!

]]>It seems to affect not all versions of Nimbus letters. Bold letters do fine, iterative letters again do not.

]]>Your commands did not work for me. I found it odd that I have the same misbehave on an Arch i386 and Mint 11 64bit on different PC´s.
]]>pacman -Rdd gsfonts
pacman -S gsfonts
Just check if the Arch version is the one that solved your problem in Mint.
