Unfortunate (but not completely a surprise).
But this seems to get me the URW fonts, not the greatest fonts. It
Yes, that is texlive's default.
seems the latest tex has something like updmap, whatever that is. Using "updmap --edit" I changed the LW35 setting to ADOBEkb and now I get the built-in fonts I believe. Is that correct?
Correct.
But I still got complaints about this one:
Warning: pdfetex (file ptmbi8a.pfb): cannot open Type 1 font file for reading Warning: pdfetex (file ptmri8a.pfb): cannot open Type 1 font file for reading Warning: pdfetex (file ptmr8a.pfb): cannot open Type 1 font file for reading Warning: pdfetex (file ptmb8a.pfb): cannot open Type 1 font file for reading
But document displays fine BTW.
You do not have the actual fonts, only the metrics. It still works because the reader will use the 'base 14' pdf fonts (it knows how to do that because the font names in the pdf are correct).
I fixed that by changing another setting: setting pdftexDownloadBase14 to false.
This surpresses the warning. There is no change to the actual output.
But I'm a bit confused here. I thought Adobe had made those fonts freely available, so shouldn't they be in my tex installation? Or is this still an encoding issue, and should I use a different encoding in order for pdfetex to find these four missing font files??
The Adobe fonts are not freely distributable. They just happened to be included with previous releases of the Acrobat Reader. Cheers, Taco
