I spent an hour trying to play around with the fonts in R, etc. with no results. Finally I googled the problem and found that GS was able to solve it (even using the fonts on my Windows 10 machine!). Like for you, gs has helped me many times over the years, even before PS/PDF was a mainstream format. Much like you, I was surprised... but not. -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

Reducing document figures size
I have a 37-page report and the pdf size is 7.3M because it includes 34 figures. Some of these figures are digital photographs (720x480dpi, .png), some are spatial maps produced by GRASS (.pdf), and some are lattice plots produced by R (large amounts of data display slowly, .pdf). Is there a format that would preserve image quality but consume less space? I'm sure that ImageMagick's 'convert' will do the job. I've tried converting PDF files to EPS but the quality is noticeably degraded. Ideas most welcome.
