I see why, that is a totally binary font, not just the normal Type1 binary. Can you send me the diagram you made and a pointer to the font?

Locale-specific fonts would always have to be embedded, but we can have documents that use both local embedded and non-embedded PS standard (13 latin-1) fonts. Not sure what you mean by 'compound font'. -Lars -- Lars Clausen (http://shasta.cs.uiuc.edu/~lrclause)| H�rdgrim of Numenor "I do not agree with a word that you say, but I |---------------------------- will defend to the death your right to say it." | Where are we going, and --Evelyn Beatrice Hall paraphrasing Voltaire | what's with the handbasket? _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list
