When you compile the document, PDFTeX -complains about “missing glyphs”, and some (or all) of the labelling -text or symbols in the original figure is no longer visible. -<p/>What has happened is: -<ol> -<li> Your figure file (say <i>fig.pdf</i>) has a font <i>font.pfb</i> - embedded in it. -<li> PDFTeX notes that it has <i>font.pfb</i> on disc, and loads - that in place of the copy in <i>fig.pdf</i>. -<li> It turns out that the copy in <i>fig.pdf</i> has glyphs that - aren’t in <i>font.pfb</i> on disc, so that you get errors while - compiling and you see that characters are missing when you view the - output. (PDFTeX can’t know that the fonts are different, since - they have the same name.) -</ol> -Which is all very undesirable. -<p/>PDFTeX does this to keep file sizes down: suppose you have a -document that loads figures <i>fig1.pdf</i> and <i>fig2.pdf</i>; both -of those use font <i>font.pfb</i>. If PDFTeX takes no action, -there will be <em>two</em> copies of <i>font.pfb</i> in the output. -(If your document also uses the font, there could be three copies.) -<p/>A real case is the URW font <i>NimbusRomNo9L-Regu</i> (a clone -of Times Roman), which is available in a version with Cyrillic -letters, while the version in TeX distributions doesn’t have those -letters. Both versions, as distributed, have the same name. -<p/>The simple (“quick and dirty”) solution is to add the command -<blockquote> - <code>\</code><code>pdfinclusioncopyfonts</code><code>=1</code> -</blockquote><p> -to the preamble of your document. -<p/>The “real” solution is that one or other font should be renamed. In -either case, this would require that you reconfigure some program’s -(TeX’s or your drawing package’s) font tables — inevitably a -tiresome job. -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=pdf-fig-chars">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=pdf-fig-chars</a> -</body> |
