[Rd] Linux: /usr/shar/doc/R-2.0.1/*.pdf all have bad fonts (PR#7677)

I have forwarded the message to Matthew Cox, who built the RPMS for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux. But if you get the same problem building from
source then it must be a  platform-specific problem and you should
probably get support from Red Hat.
