Now pdfLaTeX creates files with embedded serif and sans fonts:

I want to generate PDF files which use only non-embedded Type 1 base14 fonts:

  • Times instead Nimbus Roman
  • Helvetica instead Nimbus Sans

There are many answers which suggests how to do the opposite (force font embedding), but I haven't found any solutions how to force usage of non-embedded fonts only.

I tried to set pdftexDownloadBase14 false as suggested in https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/15594/174718, but this option seems to be broken, as it resulted in usage of some custom generated Type 3 fonts:

How to force usage of non-embedded Type 1 fonts?

EDIT:

I have found a solution on Debian (which uses TeX Live):

  1. Create file /etc/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg with the following contents:

    pdftexDownloadBase14 false
    
  2. Run: updmap-sys.

On Windows (with MiKTeX) it does not work, results in Type 3 fonts being used as presented before.
