I was thinking about this tonight; I suspect that one can use TrueType fonts (in Type 42 format) if the following restriction is obeyed: the font is never ever subsetted There might be a need to hack soemthing into dvips so that an appropriate FontMatrix array and Metrics dictionary is writte

that we use /Fa for the dvips name of Times New Roman. Then we get one font from the ouline font in the PS file, one version of the font from how rf redefine Times New Roman, and version of the font from invoking the procedure Fa. If that makes sense... Tom On Mon, 24 Apr 2000, Tom Kacvinsky

Hi all, I think that most people who are on this list know how to compile the binaries from source. But these competent people ask for RPMs or Debian packages because they are managing what is installed on their boxes with a package manager. That might be an egregious assumption, but I met Mart

The problem is that the xpdf you are using was compiled with an older version of t1lib. I recompiled my copy of xpdf with a newer version of t1lib, and my problems went away. Tom On Fri, 3 Nov 2000, C. Michael McCallum wrote: > > Thanks a lot for the help, everyone... so let me get this strai

I have been watching this thread and meant to respond sooner. Any dvips which uses t1part for font subsetting is BROKEN with respect to font subsetting. Use the latest dvips from TeX Live 6.0, which uses the writet1 module from pdftex to take care of susetting. There are other bugs in dvips wit
