Short answer: you have to buy Helvetica. Long answer: There are basic 15 PS fonts and basic 35 PDF fonts that must be according to the specification available everywhere. However, this requirement is broken even in Adobe products (the author of the specification) and it is quite common to see diff

Hi Vafa, Can your fixes be ported to upstream (that is babel itself)? That reduces the amount of code you have to maintain as things get fixed at the source. For some parts of bidi, that should be the ultimate aim anyway I guess? Best, Dee On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 9:02 PM, Vafa Khalighi wrote: >

bidi is LPPL. You can borrow codes from bidi (and I do not mind if you take code from bidi and do not mention it comes from bidi) but I have no plan to remove any code from bidi package. My aim, at least, is to make it as stable as it can be. On Fri, May 4, 2012 at 12:04 AM, Diederick C. Niehorst

Hello, Always be careful with pdf2ps. If one converts PS to PDF, information is lost - this is one of the reasons that the PDF file is usually smaller in size than the PS file. So it is technically not always possible to perfectly reconstruct a PS from a PDF. So be careful, especially if the ma
