Well, there was another fallback solution when disabling the t1strip C extention module, which relied on a external program (pfbtopfa). You needed to have this executable around. You probably didn't had that (its quite likely that this executable is not arround, so our old fallback solution was kind of bad ... ;-)). Now I wrote this pure python replacement (fullfont), since the task of converting pfb to pfa is really trivial. The question is now, if we should disable this C extention module by default. This would help people in setting up PyX without needing to compile any C extention modules by default. > > #define search(a, b, c) (fopen(b, "rb")) > > Did this and rebuilt. > I tried several examples, and they all work fine. Fine. I've just checked in this correction. Thanks a lot for your patience in bringing up and solving this subject. > Interesting: the eps files are indeed smaller ... connect.eps goes from 53 > kB to 8 kB This means that this example consists mainly out of fonts ... ;-) > But the pdf's that I make from the eps's are both the same size ... 4 kB. > (Just a curious note.) Well, it's not that curious. It seems to be, that your ps to pdf converter does strip the fonts itself canceling all glyphs not needed.
