Hi, on 2014-04-11 I installed the current MiKTeX 2.9 64-bit (basic-miktex-2.9.5105-x64.exe). My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit with SP 1. I convert my dvi files via dvipdfm to pdf. Unfortunately, the pdf quality of my documents is very poor because the pdf contains type 3 fonts. I know this is a common problem and I have already solved it previously (many years ago, in times of MS-DOS). But with my previous installation (basic-miktex-2.9.4521.exe) of August 2012 there were none of these problems. Perhaps another important warning: When running LaTeX, the system complains that some kanji.map file is missing. I have no idea for what that could be necessary (I write in German). If you need more information please tell me. Cheers, Olaf |

It would have been really useful if you had at least mentioned which fonts are in type3. A minimal example would had been better. If I had to guess: Install the cm-super package. The kanjix.map message is harmless. https://sourceforge.net/p/miktex/bugs/2286/ -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/ |

Hi, please find attached a minimal example. As you can see, all fonts are in type 3. I know the cm-super package, I used it about ten years ago. But on my older installation (from August 2012) it has not been installed either and nevertheless everything is fine with the fonts. So there must be some other reason. Might it be a bug in the 64 bit version? I remember that another way was possible before: dvi -> ps -> pdf. When I try dvips with the option -Ppdf (I remember something like that), there are lots of errors (confer attached file dvips_output.txt). Perhaps this helps.

So either you didn't install them at all or the map-file hasn't been activated correctly -- perhaps you have local map files. In this case run (as user) updmap in a command window. > I remember that another way was possible before: dvi -> ps -> pdf. > When I try dvips with the option -Ppdf (I remember something like > that), there are lots of errors (confer attached file > dvips_output.txt). Perhaps this helps. Don't use the -Ppdf switch with documents which load bitmap/type3 fonts. But using dvips will not solve the problem: If the cm-super fonts are not correctly installed/activated neither dvips nor pdflatex nor dvipdfmx will be able to use them. -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/ > 2014-04-24 9:45 GMT+02:00 Ulrike Fischer <li...@ni...>: >> Am Thu, 24 Apr 2014 07:59:40 +0200 schrieb Olaf: >> >>> Hi, >>> >>> on 2014-04-11 I installed the current MiKTeX 2.9 64-bit >>> (basic-miktex-2.9.5105-x64.exe).
