Re: how do I embed all fonts using pdflatex on windows?
I think you are right, Les. The huge number of fonts must be from the figures, which is worrisome b/c I have over 100 figures. Most figures are saved as pdf from matlab, while the rest are printed from powerpoint and tinycad using pdfcreator. For most figures, I use a script to automatically calculate the bounding box, which uses pdftops, ps2eps, and finally epstopdf. Maybe a solution would be to see whether any of those 3 programs can be set to embed all fonts. Using pdffonts, I have ~100 type 1 fonts (most not embedded), 10 truetype fonts (all embedded), ~10 type 3 fonts (all embedded), ~3 type 1c fonts (embedded), and 1 CID truetype font (embedded). So Les, if I'm understanding you correctly, I should only potentially have trouble with the type3 and CID1 fonts becoming bitmapped if I use ps2pdf. As a first try, I will use pdflatex, then pdf2ps, then ps2pdf to see how it looks, since it's easier than redoing all my figures. I know basically nothing about all this font business, but naively it seems like some program should just be able to see which fonts are not embedded, and then add them to the pdf.

Re: How badly is a LyX upgrade going to mess me up?
Steve Litt wrote: Hi all, All of my books except one are in LyX 1.4.2. The latest book is LyX 1.5.3. I'm hoping to get a 64bit machine with 8GB of Ram, and use LyX 1.5.4. I know that once you open and save a LyX 1.4.2 doc in 1.5.4, you can never go back to 1.4.2. So my question is, do you think 1.5.4 will reformat my 1.4.2 documents in any way? Forewarned is forearmed. If you get a new LyX, why not the more recent 1.5.5? Anyway, it is possible to have several different LyX versions installed on the same machine. This is how I test self-compiled unreleased v.1.6, while having 1.5 as a backup. You may have to compile your own LyX in order to do this. I recommend having the latest lyx installed as 'lyx', while you also have a 'lyx-1.4' to be on the safe side. A new LyX should not change your documents, only offer new stuff you couldn't do before. Still, bugs can happen. For a book, keep an extra copy that you never ever change. You can always open a copy of that in an old LyX if you find you have to. You can test; open a book in a new LyX, then produce postscript or pdf and compare with your printed work. (Or with a stored pdf if you have that.) Even if there is a change, the layout should still be acceptable. Unless you have layout tweaks like a manual page break. I guess you usually will find no change at all. Keep a PDF copy of any book you print. That way, you won't need LyX to make more copies. Now, if you make changes you will have to use LyX, but then you will probably have to check the layout again anyway so software revisions shouldn't really matter. Helge Hafting

Is there a basic reason this wouldn't work? I think ps2pdf does this as best it can. I'd suggest running each of your figures (which are now in PDF format) through pdf2ps then through ps2pdf, then open it in Acrobat Reader (or xpdf, etc.) and look at the document properties to see if the fonts in that figure are embedded. If they aren't, anything you do with the output from pdflatex won't work. If that happens to a particular figure, you can convert it to a bitmap (I'd suggest PNG) using Gimp, ImageMagick or other image editor, and specify the bitmap in your LyX document. LyX will handle it automatically. Les

First, the style file needs to be placed with all the other LyX style
files, not in your document directory. 'locate *.sty' or 'whereis *.sty'
will show you the path to those files. Move latexcad.sty there.
Second, as root run 'texhash'.
Third, from within LyX, run 'reconfigure'.

Re: SVG to PDF
Hi, I made some further test on the conversation method of LyX 1.5.5, and I found it's behavior very strange. The point is that I copied the SVG - PDF converter line from the Preferences: inkscape --file=$$i --export-area-drawing --without-gui --export-pdf=$$o I replaced the $$ elements with my file names: inkscape --file=C:\GombSokszog.svg --export-area-drawing --without-gui --export-pdf=C:\GombSokszog.pdf I opened the Run dialog of Windows, pasted it, executed it. The result was what is expected, the C:\GombSokszog.png was included in the PDF file as well as the other things. So the converter of Inkscape seems to be good. If I compile my LyX file then LyX copies the C:\GombSokszog.svg to the temporary directory (...\lyx_tmpdir2684a05928\lyx_tmpbuf0) but it doesn't copy the PNG file. A PDF file also appears in the temporary directory, but the PNG image is missing from the PDF. Copying the PNG file into the temporary directory before compiling the LyX file doesn't help. What is happening here? Why Inkscape doesn't find the PNG file at the moment of converting the SVG? All the mensioned files are in the folder http://zaradek.hu/svg/files/.

First, the style file needs to be placed with all the other LyX style
files, not in your document directory. 'locate *.sty' or 'whereis *.sty'
will show you the path to those files. Move latexcad.sty there.
Second, as root run 'texhash'.

Re: SVG to PDF
Hi, I made some further test on the conversation method of LyX 1.5.5, and I found it's behavior very strange. The point is that I copied the SVG - PDF converter line from the Preferences: inkscape --file=$$i --export-area-drawing --without-gui --export-pdf=$$o I replaced the $$ elements with my file names: inkscape --file=C:\GombSokszog.svg --export-area-drawing --without-gui --export-pdf=C:\GombSokszog.pdf I opened the Run dialog of Windows, pasted it, executed it. The result was what is expected, the C:\GombSokszog.png was included in the PDF file as well as the other things. So the converter of Inkscape seems to be good. If I compile my LyX file then LyX copies the C:\GombSokszog.svg to the temporary directory (...\lyx_tmpdir2684a05928\lyx_tmpbuf0) but it doesn't copy the PNG file. A PDF file also appears in the temporary directory, but the PNG image is missing from the PDF. Copying the PNG file into the temporary directory before compiling the LyX file doesn't help.

Re: problems with Beamer presentations

After reconfiguring and so on, it turns out that i have similar problems as with beamer : * there is no link on the items in the left menus * no navigation bar at the bottom * no color at all on the slides (in the pdf example file, there are some frame, rectangles, with color. ) BUT : if i export in ps, and the by hand use ps2pdf, then it works ! I guess thus, that the problem comes from the command dvipdfm that lyx seems to use. How can i change it ? Notice than, with beamer, using "export ps" and by hand "ps2pdf" solve partially the problem. The slides are nice, but they have a very small size embedded in a A4 page.

The standard LyX installation usually has three ways of exporting to PDF: PDF(dvipdfm), PDF(pdflatex) and PDF(ps2pdf). You access all of them from the File->Export menu. The PDF icon (at least on my 1.5.4 installation) uses the PDF(pdflatex) converter, which certainly does not work with powerdot and probably not with beamer (I haven't tried it). Powerdot (and probably beamer) uses the pstricks package which means the conversion has to go through postscript, so dvipdfm, which goes directly from DVI to PDF, and pdflatex, which goes directly from LaTeX to PDF, do not work properly. If you use the PDF(ps2pdf) export (or viewer) it should work properly. The page format problem is probably due to something lacking in the class options or in the preamble. Have you tried the example, powerdot-example.lyx? -- Les ~~ Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html
Packages required under Linux
Some recent threads raised this question. It's indeed one thing that did puzzle me under Linux (Ubuntu), especially when compared to a Windows install. Only recently I found that under Synaptic, the LyX package being selected, you could right-click and "select recommended/suggested packages for installing". A fairly large list in the first case, even larger in the second. I have not installed all of them. Instead, I compiled my (not-so-long) own list of useful packages. I could post it here if someone asks, or maybe it could go to the Wiki page Peleg Michaeli has started. It's true that some of these packages are almost mandatory... Regards, -- Daniel CLEMENT

If the application which generated these figures did not embed the fonts, and they differ from those your LyX document uses, they will show up in the PDF document as not embedded. The solution is to fix the original figure, or, if you can't do that, convert it to a raster image at a suitable resolution for the final document. -- Les ~~ Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

On Thursday 15 May 2008, Les Denham wrote: > The solution is to fix the original figure, or, if you can't do > that, convert it to a raster image at a suitable resolution for the final > document. With a few minutes research, I noted the following from the ps2pdf documentation: "ps2pdf will sometimes convert text to high-resolution bitmapped fonts rather than to embedded outline fonts. This will occur when the PostScript file uses Type 3, CIDFontType 1, or CIDFontType 4 fonts, or Type 0 fonts that reference any of these; it may also occur in some cases if the input file uses fonts with non-standard encodings, or in some other rare cases." The default setting of EmbedAllFonts for ps2pdf is "true", so using ps2pdf to convert to PDF should embed everything if these font types are avoided. Of course, this may be a problem with non-Roman character sets, which are likely to be available as CID fonts only. -- Les ~~ Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

Re: how do I embed all fonts using pdflatex on windows?
I think you are right, Les. The huge number of fonts must be from the figures, which is worrisome b/c I have over 100 figures. Most figures are saved as pdf from matlab, while the rest are printed from powerpoint and tinycad using pdfcreator. For most figures, I use a script to automatically calculate the bounding box, which uses pdftops, ps2eps, and finally epstopdf. Maybe a solution would be to see whether any of those 3 programs can be set to embed all fonts. Using pdffonts, I have ~100 type 1 fonts (most not embedded), 10 truetype fonts (all embedded), ~10 type 3 fonts (all embedded), ~3 type 1c fonts (embedded), and 1 CID truetype font (embedded). So Les, if I'm understanding you correctly, I should only potentially have trouble with the type3 and CID1 fonts becoming bitmapped if I use ps2pdf. As a first try, I will use pdflatex, then pdf2ps, then ps2pdf to see how it looks, since it's easier than redoing all my figures.
