Bug Description

New function: When I load a pdf document, Inskape makes font sustitution if it is needed, it's ok. But I would like that Inskape find and change a few special fonts (simple LaTeX symbols) by equivalent fonts. Example: In the pdf open, find and change all ocurrences of "cmy10" font to Times New Roman font. Thanks

In the meantime you could use the new extension 'Replace fonts…' (recently added to Inkscape trunk) to replace the fonts as needed after importing the PDF file:

When Inkscape performs substitution fonts, sometimes the 'new font' has no all the glyphs (I think in LaTeX cmex10 font) that the original font, so there are loss of information and then there are nothing to replace
