ICIP 2004 paper upload system requires that _all_ fonts are embedded into
the pdf file (also the 13 standard ones). The tools (pdflatex/ghostscript)
refused initially to do this, and I thought someone would like to hear my
solution or suggest better one. I'm running Debian Stable 3.0.
First, I updated teTeX into version 2 and AFPL Ghostscript into version 8.
Then I replaced file
/etc/texmf/updmap.d/00updmap.cfg
with the new version given in
http://great-white.csee.usf.edu/latex.html
and running update-updmap (the last command is Debian-specific).
This produced embedded fonts from the lyx/tex document, but I had .eps
figures (created with Xfig and gnuplot) that I converted into .pdf with
epstopdf which uses Ghostscript to do the job and the figures still used
non-embedded fonts. My solution was to modify file
/usr/share/gs-afpl/8.14/lib/gs_pdfwr.ps
and change lines
/.standardfonts [
/Courier /Courier-Bold /Courier-Oblique /Courier-BoldOblique
/Helvetica /Helvetica-Bold /Helvetica-Oblique /Helvetica-BoldOblique
/Times-Roman /Times-Bold /Times-Italic /Times-BoldItalic
/Symbol /ZapfDingbats
] readonly def
into
/.standardfonts [
% /Courier /Courier-Bold /Courier-Oblique /Courier-BoldOblique
% /Helvetica /Helvetica-Bold /Helvetica-Oblique /Helvetica-BoldOblique
% /Times-Roman /Times-Bold /Times-Italic /Times-BoldItalic
% /Symbol /ZapfDingbats
] readonly def
This change looks quite ugly to me, but everything else (specifically using
-dEmbedAllFonts=true) failed. If someone has better solution, let me know.
pdffonts which comes with xpdf proved to be useful. After the above
changes, it showed that all fonts were embedded:
