Hi,
Hi Chen, can't you ue XeTeX or LuaTeX for your document instead of pdfTeX, it will be easier for you because you don't need tfm and map files and you need only the typescripts.
I searched the mail list for a while and I got that if I didn't specify the font file, it will not be embeded and Acrobat Reader will just use its own fonts to show the characters.
I want to make some Chinese documents and I think if I don't embed any fonts, it will be much smaller than it used to be. And there is a cool font AdobeMingStd-Light.otf coming along with Acrobat Reader so I wish I can use it. I converted it to ttf and then tfm files (I don't know whether it is legal) and write the map file like:
pdfTeX can use OpenType fonts and you don't have to convert them into TrueType format.
================================ uni-AdobeMingStd-Light-00 "Adobe Ming Std" " Unicode00Encoding ReEncodeFont "
So, any suggestions?
XeTeX or LuaTeX.
Best Regards Chen
