problems with ecti10.pfb

Hi all,
the font file ecti10.pfb (distributed in TeXmacs-windows-fonts-1.0- noarch.tar.gz) seems to contain an error. Any document I compose containing an italic "g" of size 10 display fine on my Mac (even after PDF export) but my printer refuses it giving an "invalidfont" error just while attempting to print the "g". If I use a larger size (12) everything is fine so I do not think it is a problem with TeXmacs code but rather with the font file. Somebody can confirm this observation? (You have to be sure that during PS/PDF export TeXmacs will use the type1 fonts and not replace them with bitmaps, please inspect the generated PS to confirm this). A sample file: <TeXmacs|1.0.7.2> <style|generic> <\body> <em|aga> </body> Best, Massimiliano _______________________________________________ Texmacs-dev mailing list Texmacs-dev@... http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/texmacs-dev |

And the problem is present only when I print the files (unfortunately I do not have other printer for testing). To remove it I actually replaced the problematic fonts in TeXmacs/fonts/type1/ec/ (essentially ecbi10.pfb, ecbx12.pfb and ecti10.pfb by equivalent version obtained by reencoding some of the Latin Modern fonts. This make me think about the fact that this replacement can be pushed into the standard distribution since the Latin Modern version of CM have more compact representation than the default TeXmacs ec*.pfb fonts (which as far as I understand are obtained by tracing the MetaFont generated CM font bitmaps). Do you think this is possible in full generality? Latin Modern contains a lot of gliphs and my replacements seems to work fine.

Yes, we can consider this kind of replacement ... when we come to the reorganization of fonts. Let us first complete the Qt port ;^) Best wishes, --Joris _______________________________________________ Texmacs-dev mailing list Texmacs-dev@... http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/texmacs-dev |
