Actually, X and gs use two different sets of fonts. > > If it is available to X and NOT to gs, then you need to make it > available to gs. if it is embedded in the document, it is available to gs (while printing the document) Not embedding the fonts saves you some time on printing, but also makes the produced postscript unportable: in your personal computer there is just one copy of gs that will interpert it, including printing and conversions. However, you may want to use the produced postscript elsewhere (a different postscript printer, create a postscript document, etc.). In This case, your document is problematic. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
