Thanks! That works as it should. I guess that Times and Palatino were not being embedded because they are part of the standard postscript fonts, which might also explain why the EPS files worked fine... I was just confused since the CM fonts were embedded.
BTW: is there any interest in having SVG output? I'm thinking that it might be useful (for me) so that I can then `touch up' details in something like Inkscape. Consequently, I've been investigating the xxwriter.py files and I think I'll have a go at writing the appropriate routines. The only problem I keep coming across is font embedding - the SVG standard defines a way of doing it but none of the main software packages (e.g. firefox, inkscape, etc) support it. Any ideas?
