Hi, I have continued my work on supporting text.usetex for the PDF backend by parsing dvi files. It "sort of" works now, with the following caveats:
- Your TeX distribution must have a kpsewhich command and a correctly configured pdftex.map file. This is true for modern distributions on Unix; I have no idea about Windows. - TeX "virtual fonts" are not supported yet; Computer Modern should work, but Times will usually not. Truetype fonts also are not yet supported (for usetex; they are for ordinary text). - Re-encoded fonts (in pdftex.map) probably do not work properly, and "font effects" such as slanting do not work. - Bounding boxes are not quite right. - The embedded Type 1 fonts are not subsetted, so output files are unnecessarily big. - The resulting PDF files sometimes crash Preview.app on OS X, and even if it doesn't crash, it doesn't show the fonts. There is probably some problem in the embedding, but xpdf, gv, and Adobe Reader seem to show the files just fine. To enable, rename _draw_tex to draw_tex in backend_pdf.py and set text.usetex to True. -- Jouni K.
