However when text flows from one page to another the color resets to standard on the next page. Initially I beleived that this problem of pdf. However I tried today latex.exe and then converted dvi to pdf. I got effect that I expected: text had on both pages the same color. However using of pdflatex is more better because it prepares bookmarks for pdf. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Date: 2006-12-11 01:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=421 See patch 603. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Date: 2005-07-10 16:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=421 This is really a feature request. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Date: 2005-06-16 14:45 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=421 The cause is a missing colour stack of pdfTeX; this is a known problem (and more properly a feature request). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=496&aid=320&group_id=106

While version 20061108 was ok about this, PDF file produced by beta-20061206 does not contain any ToUnicode CMap in any case. Even when I use the traditional \pdffontattr command, let alone the more recent \pdfgentounicode, I cannot find any unicode cmap notaion in the pdf. For your reference, I here link my test file (2Mb): http://people.ktug.or.kr/~nomos/mine/testtouni.tar.gz ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=711&group_id=106

[ pdftex-Patches-597 ] Patch for more structured font writing

Several font objects can share the same descriptor structure. All structures are registered in AVL trees and flushed at the end. The fm_entry structure is cleaned up, now contains mostly map related stuff. Font descriptors can be shared also by embedded PDF files. tfm_of_fm() is gone. New makesubsettag() based on md5sum() with collision detection. Written encoding vectors are minimized in size (try it out on pdftex-t.tex :-) Replacement of Type1 fonts from embedded files seems to work. TrueType writing not yet done, currently broken. Help appreciated! More see readme.pdf included in patch .tar file.
