Re: [MiKTeX] CMTI12 font problem (Luis A Escobar)

[Luis A E. <lu...@ls...>]

Ulrike: thank you very much. Your suggested solution of using
"\font\itdoce =cmti12" worked very well.
A clean and nice solution. This saved a lot of anxiety and useless work.


Thank you again.

Best regards

Luis A Escobar

dvips doesn't find a map entry pointing to a type1 font, so it is
using a bitmap font. You are calling dvips with the option -Ppdf and
this tries to generate a bitmap in 8000 dpi, which fails. So removing
-Ppdf will avoid the error message (but still use bitmap fonts).

But there is a better solution:

The reason that dvips doesn't find the existing type1 font is that you
are using uppercase letters while the map use lowercase:
cmti12 CMTI12 <cmti12.pfb

So use this instead:

\font\itdoce =cmti12
