dvipdf is basically a script which generates a postscript and then converts it. One can use pdftex to generate pdf, the only hassle being it cannot use eps files, one can use jpg formats for them. There's one problem with the latex->ps->pdf route. It generally uses the bitmapped fonts, which for one doesnt render too well on screen, and defeats searching stuff. One can force type 1 fonts to be used by making changes in /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps by adding a line p <yourfontmap.map> But dvips generally comes with a type 1 font map configured for generating pdf , so if you have the file /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/config.pdf you can use dvips -Ppdf -- sreangsu ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
