media-fonts/gnu-gs-fonts-std-8.11 installs a font (n021004l.pfb) with incorrect metadata. This causes okular:4.2 and other poppler-based applications to render all "Times" text in ~"Times-Bold". For all details and a fix via fontconfig see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18126 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10593?dev=179 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Open PDF in kde-base/okular-4.2.4 that contains text in the font "Times". Actual Results: The text is errorneously displayed bold. Expected Results: Normal-weight text.
Or fix via downgrade to 6.0
This is true of the italic version too: n021024l.pfb These fonts claim to be 'medium' weight, but are bold. In the urw-fonts package the same fonts are installed, and the ones there are much more recent and do identify themselves as bold. The fonts in gnu-gs-fonts-std should either be updated (they date from 2002, while the urw-fonts are more recent) or eliminated. They cause misrenderings. gnu-gs-fonts-std and urw-fonts also overlap each other considerably. See also bug #256088
