So org2pdf works on FSF > approved distros? AFAIK the default org export does not do any font selection (either of free or non-free fonts). So it should work just fine. Obviously it does not for you, though. It would be helpful if you could send an example of an org document (it can be short/meaningless, as long as it demonstrates the problem), the latex it produces on export, and the latex compiler log file, so that we can see the error. Looking at that, we will probably be able to diagnose your problem more precisely, and figure out what needs to be changed to make it work. Thanks, -- Aaron Ecay
