Re: [gentoo-user] scpa5XX and CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT not listed
Hello sean, The problem of the kernel option was caused by the fact that I was running an older kernel and the option was not included. Upgraded the kernel, and the option is now available, though scpa5xx now fails with other problems. spca5xx doesn't work with newer kernels, it has been superceded by media-video/gspcav1. -- Neil Bothwick Windows Error #56: Operator fell asleep while waiting. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

At the moment though it isn't mission critical Have you configured the cups-pdf printer to embed the fonts? If cups is locally installed, then just open the webbrowser and go to http://localhost:631/ This opens a connection to the local cups administration interface. Select the printers tab, and search for the cups-pdf printer. Select Set printer options. This opens the settings for the pdf printer. What is shown here is depending on your local setup (the possible settings are defined in a ppd file, which was selected during setup of the cups-pdf printer). Look for an option like embed all fonts, and set it to yes. Look for an option like subset fonts, and set it to no, check the licenses of the fonts which you use. I'm not sure if it is necessary to restart the cups system, /etc/init.d/cupsd restart This will result in bigger pdf files. The produced pdf files should contain all fonts, complete. If there are no such settings for the cups-pdf printer then try to create a new cups-pdf printer, and select Postscript Color Printer as ppd. Hope this helps.
