Summary0014434: Converting true type fonts to outlines produces wrong shapes
DescriptionWhen I convert true type fonts (with quadratic curve type) to outlines the shapes differ from the embedded font.
Steps To Reproducesee attached files
Additional InformationWhen I convert the fonts to outlines with Inkscape or Freehand MX the shapes
are not differing from the embedded font. But to me it looks like they are changing the quadratic curves into cubic ones.

Confirmed with 1.4.6.
Outlined font does not match the embedded font as visible in markus_m pdf.

Targetting 1.4.7 to not lose track of the issue.

I committed a fix to 1.5.5.svn. I'll wait and see what happen after 1.5.5 release before maybe backporting to 1.4.9.svn.

Tested in: LinuxMint 19.1; r23082 (1.5.5svn)

I used Export -- Save as PDF then, I opened the PDF with GIMP.
Here a picture from GIMP.

Jean, this fault seems to be related the "Export -- Save as PDF -- Fonts -- Embedding mode: Outline All Fonts" function too.
This patch, does improves this?
