embedding times for distilling to pdf
Hi,
I have a problem that I fear is related to the eternal \usepackage{times}
+ dvips -Ppdf discussion; still, I can't find the solution in the
archives. To the point:
My document is typeset in Times (Roman, Bold, and Italic), with occasional
use of Helvetica Bold. I make a ps file using
$ dvips -Pgijspdf bell
This is dvips(k) 5.86 Copyright 1999 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com)
' TeX output 2001.06.29:1820' - bell.ps
tex.proalt-rule.protexc.pro8r.enctexps.pro. cmsy10.pfbcmr10.pfb
msam10.pfbcmbsy10.pfbcmmib10.pfb[1]
where config.gijspdf is an slightly modified version of config.pdf,
commenting out the character shifting.
The problem is that the times and helvetica fonts are not embedded in the
ps file, while the cm and math fonts are. I need the fonts embedded,
because the ps is going to be distilled to pdf, with all the fonts
embedded as Type 1. The pdf now looks fine, but uses Windows font
substitution, unsuitable for professional (book)printing.
Apparently dvips does know how to include the .pfb's for the cmbsy, cmmib,
msam, etc., but not the normal text. I tried to extend the list of font
map files in config.pdf, but that did not work. I either misunderstand the
problem (very possible) or I include the wrong files.
Can anybody help me out?
Cheers,
Gijs

Re: embedding times for distilling to pdf
I am using teTeX 1.0.7 and I don't have an adobe.map file. I do, however,
have a file named ar-std-adobe-kb.map that has these lines in it:
ptmb8r Times-Bold TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont 8r.enc ptmb8a.pfb
ptmbi8r Times-BoldItalic TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont 8r.enc ptmbi8a.pfb
ptmr8r Times-Roman TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont 8r.enc ptmr8a.pfb
ptmri8r Times-Italic TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont 8r.enc ptmri8a.pfb
So, assuming that Times-Roman is defined int he PFB file ptmr8a.pfb, this
font map entry would make dvips include the PFB file for Times-Roman.
