There are outline versions of the CM fonts, but some publications and organizations insist on specific fonts.

Which might mean a problem with something entirely unrelated to the fonts (e.g., wrong papersize, problems with links, etc.). > Then your font map files for dvips are not appropriate for the set of > fonts you have installed. It is very hard to know what is going on without more details. If the problem is related to fonts, then it is useful to keep track of exactly which fonts are being used. When dvips runs, it lists the font files: $ dvips -P pdf story.dvi This is dvips(k) 5.92a Copyright 2002 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) ' TeX output 2003.01.23:1320' -> story.ps <tex.pro><alt-rule.pro><texc.pro><f7b6d320.enc><texps.pro>. <cmr10.pfb> <cmsl10.pfb><cmbx10.pfb>[1] >From this we see that the Type 1 versions of cmr10, cmsl10, and cmbx10 were used. If you can get the resulting pdf file to a computer running *nix, then it is easy to check which fonts are actually used in a pdf file. $ pdffonts story.pdf name type emb sub uni object ID ------------------------------------ ------------ --- --- --- --------- KGIMMU+CMBX10 Type 1 yes yes no 10 0 NSPLPE+CMSL10 Type 1 yes yes no 13 0 ZHKQYB+CMR10 Type 1 yes yes no 16 0 When you view the file with acroread, you can also get a list of the fonts <Alt+Ctl+F>. Unfortunately, this isn't in a form that is easy to paste into email, but you should see something like: Original Font Type Used Font Type CMBX10 Type 1 Custom Embedded Subset Type 1 CMBSL10 Type 1 Custom Embedded Subset Type 1 CMR10 Type 1 Custom Embedded Subset Type 1 -- George White <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Head of St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia
