Hi, I've been using PyX for quite a while now but only exporting EPS files. I've just started trying to produce PDF files directly but I'm getting some unexpected behaviour...
When I use PyX in latex mode with the mathpazo or mathptmx (times roman) packages, the font does not appear to get embedded into the final PDF file... Consequently, it does not display as desired. However, producing exactly the same thing as an EPS file works perfectly (and I can then use epstopdf to produce a PDF). However, Computer Modern seems to be embedded correctly each time... I've had a quick look through the PDF file by hand and it initially appears that the fonts are being embedded but the key difference between the embedded CM fonts (which work) and the Palatino fonts (which don't) is that the CM fonts have a /fontfile xxx line in the font descriptor whereas the Palatino fonts don't (they just have the descriptor and encoding objects...). I've tried this on PyX 0.8.1 and 0.9 on two different machines (with completely different setups - one Redhat Enterprise, the other Gentoo) and it comes back with the same problem. I've posted a minimal example with corresponding results at http://seis.bris.ac.uk/~db9052/minimal.tgz Cheers Dave -- =========================================== David Barton Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: www.cityinthesky.co.uk =========================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
