afp fonts anywhere?

Been frustrated with crazed overprinting in PDF bank statements so I finally looked
at what's used:

pdffonts /tmp/063153917_002103930_RMPPRO_20180228.pdf

Perhaps the C0D0GT18 font is causing the problems, which I can only find in some IBM docs (z/OS?!)
and where it mentions its a Gothic(RM) font using T1D0BASE

Currently, at least according to gs, by default C0D0GT18 is replaced by Helvetica.

Anybody know a how to get this font, or perhaps a really compatible replacement?

Have you found this:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgece … mtable.htm

This suggests Gothic size 18 could be a good replacement.

Re: afp fonts anywhere?

You can try [community]/otf-overpass or ttf-oswald (AUR) as your gothic font.

Yes, I did notice that... only thing, not too sure how to replace the Type 1 C0D0GT18
in /etc/fonts... any example for this?

BTW, mutool is interesting in its output:

In parallel I notified the bank that the pdf files communicated aren't necessarily exploitable due to font issues.
