[Matplotlib-users] IEEE PDF eXpress

[Peter-Jan R. <pjr...@su...>]

For all those who want to submit publications to the IEEE and who are 
using matplotlib with the "usetex" option,

The IEEE require all fonts to be embedded (see 
http://216.228.1.34/pdfexpress/frhelpnologin.asp and 
http://ras.papercept.net/conferences/support/pdftips.php).  Matplotlib 
unfortunately does not embed all the fonts into it's EPS figures.

The quick way to get matplotlib to embed all fonts into the EPS figures 
(instead of using PNGs) is to:
1) open "backend_ps.py" and "texmanager.py"
2) search for "dvips -q"
3) and add "-j0 -Ppdf -Pdownload35 -G0"  just after the "-q" (see 
http://mpa.itc.it/markus/highres_pdf.html)
