Type 1 Fonts with Yap
by Wapler Rüdiger
::
Rate this Message:
Dear MiKTeX-Experts,
I recently bought the Rotis fonts and am now trying to install them. Most things work fine. E.g. running pdflatex on a document produces a pdf-file with the rotis font. However, when I produce a dvi file, Yap uses the (rather ugly) rotis virtual fonts even when printing. There are no error messages in Yap that it can't find a particular file. So my question: Can one force Yap to use the type 1 font instead of the virtual font? Thanks in advance for any help Ruediger ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ MiKTeX-Users mailing list MiKTeX-Users@... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/miktex-users |

Does your fonts work if you use dvips+ ghostscript? Do you use dvips render modus? (I never use YAP for printing apart from drafts. If I have to go the dvi->ps way e.g. because of pstricks I would use gsview/ghostscript for printing.) -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Ulrike Fischer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ MiKTeX-Users mailing list MiKTeX-Users@... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/miktex-users |

Dear Ulrike,
I suspected that ghostscript could be a problem. When using dvips, it finds the correct pfb-files. Howver, I have been trying to tell ghostscript where to find these files by adding paths to the -sFONTPATH option. In addition, I have edited the fontmap file which is read when ghostscript is started. However, I have not been succesfull with Ghostscript. It always substitutes teh rotis font with a standard Nimbus font. Any clues what I am doing wrong?

If dvips would embed the fonts correctly ghostscript shouldn't have to search for them and it shouldn't substitute them. It also shouldn't be necessary to use FONTPATH or the fontmap. So probably dvips doesn't find the pfb (dvips often doesn't complain if it can't find a pfb, it simply puts a marker in the ps and lets ghostscript struggle). -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Ulrike Fischer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ MiKTeX-Users mailing list MiKTeX-Users@... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/miktex-users |

When I run dvips it explicitly states that it finds the two relevant pfb files. The Rotis fonts are also mentioned in the resulting ps-file when I open it with a text editor. Does that mean the fonts are embedded?
Even if it does, I still get the following message in Ghostview: GSview 4.9 2007-11-18 Unknown in Comments section at line 8: %%DocumentFonts: RotisSansSerif RotisSansSerif-Bold Unknown in Prolog section at line 372: %%CreationDate: Fri Jun 22 13:08:32 2001 Unknown in Prolog section at line 373: %%VMusage: 120000 150000 Unknown in Prolog section at line 374: %%LTSerial: 353730322d363235383733362d33303433302d313431 Unknown in Prolog section at line 525: %%CreationDate: Fri Jun 22 13:09:29 2001 Unknown in Prolog section at line 526: %%VMusage: 120000 150000 Unknown in Prolog section at line 527: %%LTSerial: 353730322d363235383733362d33303433302d313431 GPL Ghostscript 8.61 (2007-11-21) Copyright (C) 2007 Artifex Software, Inc.

Voila! In the map file the font was called Rotis whereas in the pfb-file the font was named AgfaRotis. Changed the names in the map file and then ran initexmf --mkmaps and now everything is fine in dvi, ps and pdf files.
