You are using the bitmapped fonts. You need to specifically say to use the postscript fonts. Use dvips <file.dvi> -Pcmz -o <file.ps> I use emacs and select command->other to input this, rather than the normal options There are some issues I have with whether this embeds the fonts in the file or not.

I think all fonts other than the standard ones built into PostScript have to be embedded in PS files, otherwise such files would generally be unusable. This is so regardless of whether the font in bitmapped on not. Francis |

The reason I ask about embedding fonts is that I want to merge a number of .ps documents, then convert to pdf. I am concerned about the file size overhead of having the fonts embedded in each of the files, then having multiple copies in the merged document. How much overhead would this add, for instance, a 100 page document merged from 20 five page documents? Should I be worried about this, or is it insignificant?

As I reported to this mailing list a week or so ago, I recently merged a 200 page book that was sent to me as about 15 .pdf files. After merging these files using Ghostscript, the resulting single .pdf file was *very much* smaller than the original 15 files. One reason might be that merging saved on the overhead of embedding fonts; another might be that the compression was improved. But I didn't look into the reasons and I don't know how the original files were generated. Francis |

Why don't you let MiKTeX Setup/Update do the job for you? :-) Kind regards Albert -- Dr. Albert Kapune Brunnenstrasse 1 D-59514 Welver-Nateln Telefon: (02384) 911012 Telefax: (02384) 911011 |

It appears I already have the cm super fonts installed. The problem with poor resolution in PDF files must be something else. Thanks, anyway Jesper > > > > Did you install the cm-super fonts? They are Type1 and > are embedded > > > in PDF as such (not as Type42). > |
