Dear All,

I have some small diagrams I created with MetaPost in 2005. Just recently I wanted to re-run the build of the PDF. It produced a PDF but the typography looks awful. so I compared (diff) with the previous intermediate files and found that the EPS files produced by the mpost run are identical up to timestamps and that it's only the last step epstopdf that uglifies the output. I'm suspecting the fault to be with the ghostscript or the font installation. Maybe someone here has seen this and knows the fix? Can you also try with epstpdf of latest TeXLive ? or see here http://www.mail-archive.com/ctan-ann@dante.de/msg02109.html

thank you very much for the hint. Unfortunately, that did not solve the problem.

It turns out I guessed right: the problem was with ghostscript and font installation. Ghostscript was not knowing about the type1 fonts in the tex installation.

I found Fontmap.cmr on CTAN and its instructions helped me solve the problem. ok

Are you sure that it'a appropriate for this mailling list ? It seems more a latex problem than a context mkii /mkiv minimals problem . Or, how do you do it in context mkiv ? -- luigi
