Package: gs-gpl Version: 8.15-2 Severity: normal (This bug has been reproduced on gs-esp 7.07, gs-gpl 8.15-2, gs-afpl 8.15-2, gs-afpl 8.51 (upstream) and gs-afpl CVS, but gs-gpl looks the most active, so I'm sending it here :-) )
I have a very large (~200MB) PostScript file originally exported from PageMaker 6.5, which I'd like to turn into PDF. However, this file also contains a few TrueType fonts which I'd like to embed in the PDF (subsetted), since they don't look very much like the 13 included standard fonts. However, that simply doesn't happen. The fonts _are_ there alright -- if I show the .ps file in gv, they get rendered perfectly -- but even with -dDEBUG I can't find the slightest hint that gs recognizes them. I've tried various flags; my current set goes something like this: gs-gpl -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dMaxSubsetPct=100 -dSubsetFonts -dEmbedAllFonts -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=out.pdf -c .setpdfwrite -f in.ps but pdffonts still claims the fonts aren't included (and gv, xpdf and acroread agree): name type emb sub uni object ID ------------------------------------ ------------ --- --- --- --------- |______TTE155C6B8T00 TrueType no no no 12 0 |______ArialMT Type 1 no no no 16 0 |______TimesNewRomanPSMT Type 1 no no no 9 0 |______TTE18B8428T00 TrueType no no no 29 0 |______TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT Type 1 no no no 25 0 |______TTE15655E8T00 TrueType no no no 27 0 |______Palatino-Roman Type 1 no no no 56 0 (gs-esp gives me more fonts and different names, presumably since it's an older version.) The only luck I've really had is specifying all the TTE names manually in AlwaysEmbed -- in this case, they are listed as embedded (and subsetted), but are rendered as bitmaps, which doesn't really do it :-) Any good ideas? Everything I've found on the 'net says that this is just supposed to work transparently, and by looking at the PostScript file, it really looks like it defines lots of characters for the given TTE* fonts (I'm no PostScript guru, though). I can give you one of the PostScript files if you need it, but be aware that even the smallest one is quite large (~85MB after bzip2). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11.8 Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages gs-gpl depends on: ii gs-common 0.3.7 Common files for different Ghostsc ii libc6 2.3.5-1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgimpprint1 4.2.7-10 The Gimp-Print printer driver libr ii libice6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-10 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpaper1 1.1.14-3 Library for handling paper charact ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libsm6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Session Management ii libx11-6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxt6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-8 compression library - runtime Versions of packages gs-gpl recommends: ii gsfonts 8.14+v8.11+urw-0.2 Fonts for the Ghostscript interpre pn psfontmgr <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
