This may manifest -itself as messed-up maths equations (missing -“-” signs, for example), or bits missing -from large symbols. Early versions of <i>Distiller</i> used to -ignore character positions 0–31 and 128–159 of every font: Adobe’s -fonts never use such positions, so why should <i>Distiller</i>? -<p/>Well, the answer to this question is “because Adobe don’t produce all -the world’s fonts” — fonts like <i>Computer</i> -<i>Modern</i> were around before Adobe came on the scene, and -<em>they</em> use positions 0–31. Adobe don’t react to complaints like -that in the previous sentence, but they do release new versions of -their programs; and <i>Distiller</i>, since at least version 4.0, -<em>has</em> recognised the font positions it used to shun. -<p/>Meanwhile, TeX users with old versions of <i>Distiller</i> need -to deal with their fonts. <i>Dvips</i> comes to our aid: the -switch <code>-G1</code> (“remap characters”), which moves the offending -characters out of the way. The PDF configuration file -(<code>-Ppdf</code>), recommended -in “<a href="FAQ-fuzzy-type3.html">the wrong type of fonts</a>”, -includes the switch. -<p/>The switch is not without its problems; pre-2003 versions of -<i>dvips</i> will apply it to Adobe fonts as well, causing -<a href="FAQ-charshift.html">havoc</a>, but fortunately -that problem is usually soluble. However, a document using both -CM and Adobe-specified fonts is stuck. The only real solution -is either to upgrade <i>dvips</i>, or to spend money to upgrade -<i>Distiller</i>. -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=distill-prob">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=distill-prob</a> -</body> |
