-<h3>Characters disappear from figures in PDFTeX</h3>
-<p/>You have a PDF figure, which you want to use in your
-PDFLaTeX document. When you compile the document, PDFTeX
-complains about &#8220;missing glyphs&#8221;, 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&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;t have those
-letters. Both versions, as distributed, have the same name.
-<p/>The simple (&#8220;quick and dirty&#8221;) 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 &#8220;real&#8221; solution is that one or other font should be renamed. In
-either case, this would require that you reconfigure some program&#8217;s
-(TeX&#8217;s or your drawing package&#8217;s) font tables &#8212; inevitably a
-tiresome job.
