If you want straight PDFs, it's best to use PDFLaTeX straight at the command line. To get Type 1 embedded fonts instead of bitmapped ones, you have two options: 1) Install the cm-super fonts, which have not yet been packaged. Bug 133649. 2) Ask LaTeX to use the Old Type 1 fonts, which will then grab the Blue Sky fonts. \usepackage[OT1]{fontenc} Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
