Minor bugfixex.I downloaded the tarball from [1], compiled and installed the software. However when trying to view a pdf file, I get error messages like "Error: Couldn't create a font for 'WFLHPU+CMR12'" and then an empty page in the viewer.
I have encountered this same problem (with other fonts). It looks like PDFKits comes with a couple of fonts, but doesn't know how to substitute fonts when necessary.
I worked around the problem by creating symlinks between my font store on my Debian system and the Resources directory for ViewPDF. Stefan hasn't had time to answer a separate e-mail I sent asking what the font search path is, but I hope he will when he has a chance. Once we understand that, we can provide better hints for how to integrate with your existing fonts.
Thanks, -Brent
