Is there any way of configuring MiKTeX/PDFTeX so that you get an error message or at least a warning if pixel fonts are being used? One way would be to disable the automatic generation of .pk files on the fly, but I could find an option to do this in the doumentation. Peter Ryder. |

You could use a very high resolution, then makepk will fail. With dvips this happens if you use -Ppdf. pdftex has a primitive -> manual. But why don't you look in the log-file (pdflatex) / terminal output (dvips)? --=20 Mit freundlichen Gr=FC=DFen Ulrike Fischer mailto:li...@ni... |

Hai Peter, Font management is a tricky thing in TeX. The best thing to do is to use a font management system. There are quite a few around for TeX. PK fonts are considered old in TeX and there are probably replacements for it in Postscript. Most old PK fonts have PS equivalents, and don't need makepk, even the exotic ones. MiKTeX comes with a lot of documentation about fonts, and also on how to install new fonts, including equivalent fonts.

No need to search the whole log. The fonts used are all listed at the end: <C:/Programme/MiKTeX2.5/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr10.pfb> Output written on test3.pdf (1 page, 4605 bytes). --=20 Mit freundlichen Gr=FC=DFen Ulrike Fischer mailto:li...@ni... |
